Setting the Date and Time

You will need to set the date and time of the camcorder before you can start using it. When the camcorder's

Operating modes:
1 Push the joystick up/down to change the month then move (Ð) to the next field.
• To move to the next field you can also press the joystick itself.

setup) with the [w Other Functions] > [Set Clock] > [Date/Time] setting. However, while the camcorder is
being operated through the Browser Remote application, the [Set Clock] submenu is not available.
