basic operation of the camcorder
Built-in rechargeable battery
• Your camcorder includes a built-in rechargeable battery that retains the date and time settings even after the power
is turned off.
• Once the battery is depleted, the previous date/time values are all reset to defaults, and you need to recharge the
built-in rechargeable battery. The date/time must be set again.
Charging the built-in rechargeable battery
• The built-in battery is always recharged while your camcorder is connected to the AC power or while the battery
pack is attached. If the camcorder is not in use for about 2 months without connecting to the AC power or attaching
the battery pack, the built-in battery fully discharges. If this occurs, charge the built-in battery by connecting to the
supplied AC adaptor for 24 hours.
Turning the date and time display on/off
• To switch the date and time display on or off, access the menu and change the Date/Time Display mode.
