you can start using it. The [Date/Time] screen will appear
automatically when the camcorder’s clock is not set.

x to turn on the camcorder.

• The [Date/Time] screen appears and the year will be

selected.

2 Touch a field you want to change (year, month, day, hours or minutes).

3 Touch [

Z] or [O] to change the field as necessary.

4 Set the correct date and time by changing all the fields in the same way.

5 Touch [Y.M.D], [M.D,Y] or [D.M.Y] to select the date format you prefer.

• In some screens, only the month and day are displayed but it will still follow the order you

selected.

7 Touch [OK] to start the clock and close the setup screen.

NOTES
