Using Ac Power (Dc In Power); Setting The Clock - Sony PMW-F55 Operating Instructions Manual

Checking remaining battery charge
When recording or playback is in progress on the
battery pack, an icon to show the current battery
remaining time and battery voltage are displayed
on the sub display screen (page 15) and LCD
monitor/viewfinder screen (page 17).
Icon Remaining charge
100% to 91%
90% to 71%
70% to 51%
50% to 31%
30% to 11%
10% to 0%
The camcorder indicates the remaining usage
time in minutes by calculating the available time
with the battery pack if operation is continued at
the current rate of power consumption.
If the remaining battery charge becomes
low
If the remaining battery charge decreases to a
certain level during operation, a low-battery
message, flashing of the REC lamp, and a beep
sound will warn you.
If the remaining charge further decreases to a
level at which operation cannot be continued, a
battery-empty message appears.
Replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
To change the message levels
These settings can be changed with "Battery
Alarm" (page 64) in the System menu.

Using AC Power (DC IN Power)

The camcorder works with AC power by using
the AC adaptor AC-DN2B/AC-DN10 (optional)
and DC cable CCDD-X2 (optional).

Setting the Clock

Setting the Clock
When you turn the camcorder on for the first time
after purchasing or replacing the backup battery,
the Initial Setting display appears on the
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
Turn the MENU dial (page 9) to move the cursor,
then press the MENU dial to set each menu item.
When you press the MENU dial when the cursor
is on "Finish," the setting display disappears, the
clock setting is completed.
After the setting display disappears, "Clock Set"
(page 64) in the System menu can be used to set
"Time Zone" and date/time.
Notes
• If the clock setting is cleared because the backup
battery fully discharged when no power was supplied
(no battery pack and no DC IN connection), the Initial
Setting display will be displayed when you next turn
the camcorder on.
• 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.
