Resetting the date and time

The date and time are set at the factory. Set the time according to the local time in your country. If you do not use the camcorder for about six months, the date and time settings may be released (bars may appear) because the vanadium-lithium battery installed in the camcorder will have been discharged. In this case, first charge the vanadium-lithium battery, then reset the date and time.

(2) Press MENU to display the menu on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.

(3) Select CLOCK SET, then press the CONTROL dial.

(4) Turn the CONTROL dial to adjust the year, and then press the CONTROL dial.

(5) Set the month, day, hour and minutes by turning and pressing the CONTROL dial.
