While there are many discussions about date and time display, I wonder how you missed them. Sorry but tell more about your model since there are some million versions of the handicam.

To recap the old discussions we have post processing that can burn in that date/time from the timecode or you can add it in post or you can press play and record it from the camcorder to some vcr or dvd recorder. Too many options which seems to frustrate everyone.
