„ Charging the Built-in Battery

The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data.

The built-in battery is constantly being charge whenever the GY-HD100 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-HD100 is disconnected from a power supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GY-HD100 is not used for about three months, in which case the set date and time and time code data are reset.

In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and time code data again.

About the Viewfinder Cable
