On charging the built-in rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a built-in rechargeable battery to retain the date, time,
and other settings even when the power is off. The built-in rechargeable
battery is always charged while your camcorder is connected to the wall
outlet via the AC power adaptor or while the battery pack is attached.
The rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in about 3 months if you do
not use your camcorder at all. Use your camcorder after charging the built-in
rechargeable battery. If the built-in rechargeable battery is not charged,
any input data will not be backed up and the date/time appears on the screen
as "00:00 1.JAN.2008" (when "Date/Time" display is set to "On").
The date/time will read "00:00 1.JAN.2008" in the following conditions:
- When the built-in rechargeable battery becomes weak or dead.
-
If the movie or photo recording was made before setting the date/time in the
miniDV camcorder
.
The same functional button exists on the remote control as well. Press it once to
display the date "
1.JAN.2008
", press it twice to display the time and press it again
to display both time and date on the screen.
