Preparations
Note
The battery pack mounted on the camcorder is not
charged even if you set the mode switch of the
BC-U1 to the CHARGE position. To charge the
battery pack, remove it from the camcorder and
mount it on the BC-U1.
This camcorder has Camera mode for recording
and Media mode for playback.
The mode is selected when you turn the power on.
To operate in Camera mode, turn the power on by
setting the power switch to the CAMERA
position.
To operate in Media mode, turn the power on by
setting the power switch to the MEDIA position.
Set the power switch to the OFF 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 set the switch to OFF in
advance.
Removing the battery pack and the DC IN
power without first setting the power switch to
OFF may cause damage to the camcorder or
SxS memory cards.
When you turn the camcorder on for the first time
after purchasing or replacing the backup battery
(page 120), 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
Use the joystick on the handle or jog dial on the
rear operation panel for setting.
1 Tilt the joystick or turn the jog dial to
set the cursor to “Date/Time” then
press the joystick or dial.
The cursor moves to the year-setting column.
