same way.

NOTES
When you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months, the built-in
rechargeable lithium battery may discharge completely and the date
and time setting may be lost. In such case, recharge the built-in lithium
battery ( 165) 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
month-day-year (for example, [Jan. 1, 2009 12:00 AM]). You can
change the date format ( 145).
You can also change the date and time later on (not during the initial
setup). Open the [Date/Time] screen from the setup menus:
