zIn Step 4, if the TCG switch is positioned at [F-RUN] or [R-RUN], this also activate the internal clock.

To cancel date, time and time zone settings in process, hold down the SET button and position the TCG switch at [F-RUN] or [R-RUN].

zClock accuracy fluctuates between about ± 30 seconds per month when the power is turned off. If more accurate timekeeping is required, check the time when the power is turned on and, if necessary, reset the clock.

When the GPS unit AJ-GPS910G is installed, and if it successfully receives time information, the internal clock keeps accurate (local) time based on the received time (Greenwich Mean Time) and the time zone. If the date and time differ from the actual local time, the time zone may not be set correctly. Check again, to see if the time zone is set correctly. (The date and time need not be set again.)

zThe built-in clock operates for several years on a lithium battery built into the camera-recorder. When the lithium battery is exhausted, the viewfinder indicates the message “BACKUP BATT EMPTY” when the power is turned on. For more information, see [Maintenance] (page 140).
