Setting The Clock; Adjusting The Lcd Monitor And Viewfinder; Adjusting The Lcd Monitor; Adjusting The Viewfinder - Sony PXW-X200 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the Clock

When you turn the camcorder on for the first time
after purchasing or replacing the backup battery
(page 138), 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
Press the up/down/left/right buttons (page 9) or
turn the jog dial (page 10) to move the cursor,
then press the SEL/SET button or the jog dial to
set each menu item. When you press the SEL/
SET button or the jog dial when the cursor is on
"Finish," the Initial Setting display disappears
and the clock setting is completed.
After the Initial Setting display disappears, "Time
Zone" (page 101) and "Clock Set" (page 101) of
the OTHERS menu can be used to set "Time
Zone" and "Date/Time."
Notes
• If the clock setting is cleared because of exhaustion of
the backup battery while no operation power was being
supplied (no battery pack and no DC IN connection),
the Initial Setting display will be displayed when you
turn the camcorder on at the next opportunity.
• While the Initial Setting display is shown, no other
operation except turning the power off is permitted
until you finish the setting for this display.

Adjusting the LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor turns on when it is opened and
turns off when it is returned to the park position.
Adjusting the angle
It can be rotated as much as 90 degrees in the
direction facing the subject and as much as 180
degrees in the opposite direction.
When you rotate it 90 degrees toward the subject,
the image on the monitor becomes upside down,
indicating the mirror image of the subject. The
display direction of the textual information is
converted to the readable direction.
Adjusting the backlight
Press the LCD BRIGHT button (page 9) to adjust
the brightness of the backlight.
Adjusting the color, contrast, and
brightness
These adjustments can be made using "LCD"
(page 96) of the LCD/VF SET menu. These
adjustments of the LCD monitor have no effect on
pictures being recorded.

Adjusting the Viewfinder

If the picture on the LCD monitor is hard to view
under bright ambient light, you can use the
viewfinder to check the picture.
Caution
Do not leave the camcorder with the eyepiece of
the viewfinder facing the sun. Direct sunlight can
enter through the eyepiece, be focused in the
viewfinder, and cause fire.
Hereafter the viewfinder is referred to as "EVF"
(abbreviation of Electronic Viewfinder).
