5 Press the HOLD button to display a time in the display window.

6 Use the CURSOR buttons to set the hour, minute and second (h/min/s).

7 Position the TCG switch at [F-RUN] or [R-RUN]. The internal clock starts at the moment the switch position is changed.

8 Press the HOLD button to display a time zone (time difference between local time and Greenwich Mean Time) in the display window.

10 Use the # and $ buttons to set the desired hours and minutes ahead of (no sign) or behind (– sign) the Greenwich Mean Time).

Example: If the local time is five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time,

set the time zone to “5:00 –”.

The time zone is always recorded, together with the date and time, as metadata.

See the table at right to set the time zone according to your local time.

11 Position the TCG switch at [F-RUN] or [R-RUN] to accept the time zone.

‹Notes

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).
