  • display time of day during shooting

    I would like to display the time of day while shooting.

    I do some long stage events and in the dark I want to find out about how much more time until the next act, or break or speaker.

    When the nxcam first powers up, it displays the date and time for about one second on the bottom of the display. I have tried every way of getting it to remain, but remain unsuccesful.

    Stick on clock on my camera is not visible in the dark without pressing a button or shining a light.

    Hey John, you can have the date and time stamped on the video. Go to menu, cursor down to the last option which looks like a file cabinet.Hit Enter or Cursor over to the right and select DATE REC / ON

    that’s it.

    Scott,

    Thanks for the reply.

    In this case I didn’t want it stamped, I just wanted to view it.
