Setting the Date and Time
You will need to set the date and time of

When the [DATE/TIME] screen
appears, the year will be displayed in

start the clock and close the setup
screen.
IMPORTANT
• When you do not use the camcorder for
about 3 months, the built-in

time setting may be lost. In such case,
recharge the built-in lithium battery
( 111) and set the time zone, date
and time again.
• The date appears in a year-month-day
format only in the first setup screen. In
subsequent screen displays the date
and time will appear as day-month-year
(for example, [1.JAN.2008 12:00 AM]).
You can change the date format ( 96).
• You can also change the date and time
later on (not during the initial setup). To
