# Setting the date/time of the internal clock

The date/time/time zone are recorded as meta data in the clip while shooting.

This will affect the management of recorded clips, so always check and set the date/time and time zone before using the camera for the first time.

Do not change the setting of the date/time and time zone while shooting.

Press the <MENU> button.

The menu is displayed.

Select the [OTHERS] menu → [CLOCK] → [TIME ZONE], and set the time difference from Greenwich Mean Time.

Select the [OTHERS] menu → [CLOCK] → [CLOCK SETTING], and set the year, month, date, and time.

NOTE

- Accuracy of the clock is approximately ±30 seconds per month. Check and reset the time when accurate time is required.

- In the AVCHD format, clip will be save in +12:30 even selecting +12:45 due to format standards.
