Your camcorder includes a internal rechargeable battery that retains the date and time settings even after the power is turned off.

If the battery is depleted, the current date/time values are reset to the default values. If this occurs, you need to recharge the internal rechargeable battery (see below), and then re-set the current date and time.

Charging the internal rechargeable battery

The internal battery is always recharged while your camcorder is connected to the AC power or while the battery is attached.

If you have not used the camcorder for about 2 weeks and you have not connected the AC power or the battery to it, the internal battery fully discharges. If this occurs, charge the internal battery by connecting the camcorder to the supplied AC adaptor for 24 hours.

Turning the date and time display on/off

To switch the date and time display on or off, access the menu and change the Date/Time Display mode. page 79
