Selecting the recording zone
Select the recording zone when you

recorded in a different time zone.
1. Set the camera to VCR mode, open the VCR menu and select the
REC ZONE option.
2. Move up or down the list of time zones by turning the select dial
and press in the dial to select the option that represents the time
zone where you made the recording.
• The mark indicates summer time – choose this option if the place you
S
visited was on summer time when you made the recording.
3. Close the menu.
• The time and date will now match local time at the place where you made
the recording and the camera shows the name of the recording zone in the
display.
4. When you have finished viewing the recording of a different time
zone, be sure to return the REC ZONE setting to the same time
zone as your base zone so that the base zone date and time is shown
during playback.
• The name of the recording zone disappears from the display.
Notes:
• The recording can be edited to a VCR showing the local time, but when editing
via the digital terminal only the original date and time can be recorded. In this
case, you need to reset the date and time before you make a recording.
• The World Clock displays will only appear when the data code is shown (p. 52).
• If you make a change to the base zone setting, the recording zone setting is reset
automatically.
• When you use date search, the camera looks for the change in date based on the
adjusted time.
