    Hello Alif,

    The Sony PXW-X70 camera features an “hour meter” function that tracks the total number of hours the camera has been in operation. Here are the steps to check the hour meter reading:

    Turn on the camera and set it to camera mode.

    Press the MENU button on the side of the camera.

    Navigate to the “OTHERS” menu by using the joystick on the side of the camera.

    Scroll down to the “HOUR METER” option and press the joystick to select it.

    The camera will display the total number of hours that it has been in operation.

    Note that the hour meter reading may not be accurate if the camera’s internal clock has been reset or if the camera has been serviced or repaired.

    Hey mate,
    most of sony cameras/camcorders have a small label on the bottom of the body or under the barrel reporting few lines of info. The last line should have the build date.
