TCG (Page 141)

Sets FREE RUN/REC RUN.

Select CHANGE for TC PRESET on the

setting menu RECORDING SETUP screen

and press SET on the Operation lever to

open the time code setting screen.

Use the Operation lever to set the time

code.

• Range of available time code settings:

00 : 00 : 00 : 00 to 23 : 59 : 59 : 29 (60i, 60P),
00 : 00 : 00 : 00 to 23 : 59 : 59 : 23 (24PN),
00 : 00 : 00 : 00 to 23 : 59 : 59 : 24 (50i, 50P)

Use to confirm set time code value.

• Pressing the RESET button will reset any

time code setting to 0.

Press SET on the Operation lever and

confirm the time code setting value and

you leave the time code setting screen.

Select TC display using the COUNTER

button, and confirm that the value set is

displayed.

•

When 24P or 24PA is used, the time

code is adjusted every 5 frames. It is

adjusted to multiples of four for 24PN

and to even numbers for 720/30PN. It

is adjusted so that the seconds plus

the frames are an even number for

720/25PN. The time code cannot be set

during recording.

•

If you leave the time code setting

screen without pressing the SET button

on the Operation lever, the set value is

not retained.

Time code function during battery replacement

Even during battery replacement the backup
mechanism keeps the time code generator
functioning.

When the POWER/MODE switch has been

switched ON → OFF → ON, the backup

accuracy of the time code in free run mode is

about ±2 frames.

VFR (variable frame rate) time code

• In 24PN mode, recording is performed at

24-frame time code, and output is performed at
30-frame time code to match the 2:3 pull-down
scheme used for video output.

• At a frame rate (capture frame rate) of 24P in

24PN mode, the speed of recording and the
output time code matches actual time, but not
at any speed other than 24P. (Example: at 60P
recording progresses at 60/24 speed)

• Then the camera-recorder operates in REC

RUN mode and the time code output at start of
recording matches the recording time code.

• This is also the same when shooting in modes

other than 30P in 30PN, and 25P in 25PN.
