Configuring Basic Camcorder Operation
The initial settings screen appears in the
viewfinder the first time the camcorder is
turned on or after the backup battery has
become completely discharged.
Set the date and time of the internal clock
using this screen.
Before shooting, configure the basic operation
of the camcorder to suit the application.
Time Zone
Time Zone sets the time difference from UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). Change the
setting as required.
Setting the Date and Time
Use the arrow buttons (page 7) or the
multi-function dial (page 4) to select items
and settings, then press the SET button or
multi-function dial to apply the settings and
start the clock running.
Once the settings screen is closed, you
can change the date, time, and time zone
settings using Clock Set (page 107) in the
Maintenance menu.
[Notes]
ˎ ˎ If the clock setting is lost because the backup battery
becomes fully discharged due to power being
disconnected for an extended period (no battery pack
and no DC IN power source), the initial settings screen
will be displayed when you next turn the camcorder
on.
ˎ ˎ While the initial settings screen is displayed, no other
operation, except turning the power off, is permitted
until you finish the settings on this screen.
ˎ ˎ The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery for
storing the date, time, and other settings even when
the camcorder is turned off. For details about the
built-in rechargeable battery, see page 113.

You can switch the shooting mode between
“Custom mode” to create images flexibly on-
