I have a vixia HF r50. Only the date shows on playback, not the time.

I need to have a video showing both time and date but only the date is showing up on playback. Is there a setting for this?

Hi billdev97!

Thanks for posting.

Please make sure the camcorder is set to display the date and time during playback by doing the following:

 1.  Open the [Other Functions] menu.

 2.  Select the [Display Setup] menu.

 3.  Make sure [Display Date/Time] is set to [On].

Now, the date and time will be displayed.  However, if you are shooting video in MP4, then only the date will be displayed during playback.

Do you know if the time s actually embedded ss metadata in mp4 format?

Hello billdev97,

The date and time are both saved in the metadata on this camcorder.
