Setting the Clock

Preparations
Connection example: when connecting BC-U1
1 Connect the DC power output cable of
the BC-U1 to the DC IN connector of
the camcorder.
2 Connect the power cord of the BC-U1 to
an AC power source.
3 Set the mode switch of the BC-U1 to the
DC OUT position.
To turn the power on, set the power switch (page
11) to the ON position (the ? position). To turn the
power off, set the power switch to the OFF
position (the 1 position).
Notes
• This camcorder uses a little standby power even when
the power switch is set to OFF. Remove the battery
pack if the camcorder will not be used for a prolonged
period.
• When removing the battery pack or the DC IN power,
be sure to first set the power switch to the OFF
position. Removing the battery pack or the DC IN
power while the camcorder is ON may cause damage
to the camcorder or the SxS memory card.
When you turn the camcorder on for the first time
after purchasing or replacing the backup battery
(page 106), the Initial Setting display appears on
the LCD monitor/viewfinder screen.
Set the date and time of the built-in clock, using
this display.
Time Zone
The value shows the time difference from UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time).
Change the setting if needed.
Setting the time and date
Press the up/down/left/right buttons (page 13) or
turn the jog dial (page 14) to move the cursor,
then press the SEL/SET button or the jog dial to
set each menu item. When you press the SEL/
SET button or the jog dial when the cursor is on
“Finish,” the Initial Setting display disappears,
the clock setting is completed, and the camcorder
enters the mode selected via the power switch.
After the Initial Setting display disappears, “Time
Zone” (page 82) and “Clock Set” (page 82) in the
OTHERS menu can be used to set “Time Zone”
and “Date/Time.”
Notes
• If the clock setting is cleared because of exhaustion of
the backup battery while no operation power was being
supplied (no battery pack and no DC IN connection),
the Initial Setting display will be displayed when you
turn the camcorder on at the next opportunity.
• While the Initial Setting display is shown, no other
operation except turning the power off is permitted
until you finish the setting for this display.
