Regarding Built-in Clock’s Rechargeable Lithium
Battery
To store the date/time in memory, a clock’s rechargeable
lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the
camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC
Power Adapter/Charger, or while the battery pack attached
to the camcorder continues to supply power to the
camcorder, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is
always charged. However, if the camcorder is not used for
approx. 3 months, the clock lithium battery will become
discharged and the date/time stored in memory will be
lost. When this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an
AC outlet using the AC Power Adapter/Charger etc. for
over 24 hours to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium
battery. Then perform the date/time setting before using the
camcorder.
It is also possible to use the camcorder without the date/
time setting.
NOTE:
Even if you select “DATE/TIME”, if the parameter is not
highlighted the camcorder's internal clock continues to
operate. Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/
time parameter (month), the clock stops. When you finish
setting the minute and press the Select Dial, the date and
time begin operation from the date and time you just set.
