Step 4 Setting the date and time

Set the date and time when you use your camcorder for the first time. Set the geographical area, then the daylight savings time, the year, the month, the day, the hour and then the minute, in that order.

If you do not use your camcorder for about 3 months, the date and time settings may be cleared from memory (bars may appear) because the built-in rechargeable battery in your camcorder will have been discharged during that time. In that case, charge the built-in rechargeable battery by connecting the AC adaptor, and set the date and time again (page 16, 132).
