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.
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 multi selector (page 7) or the
multi-function dial (page 5) to select items
and settings, then press the multi selector
apply 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 99) in the
Maintenance menu.
[Notes]
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.
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.
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery for
storing the date, time, and other settings even when
the camcorder is turned off.
Before shooting, configure the basic operation
of the camcorder on the Project status screen
to suit the application.
