Step 2 Setting the date and time
Set the date and time when you use your camcorder for the first time. "CLOCK SET"
will be displayed each time that you set the POWER switch to CAMERA or MEMORY
unless you set the date and time settings.

cleared from memory (bars may appear) because the built-in rechargeable battery
installed in your camcorder will have been discharged (p.160).
