Canon EOS 7D Mark II Instruction Manual

The time code is a time reference 
recorded automatically to synchronize 
the movie during movie shooting. It is 
recorded at all times in the following 
units: hours, minutes, seconds, and 
frames. It is mainly used during movie 
editing.
Use [z5: Time code] (the [z3] tab in 
<A>) to set the time code.

: The time code counts up only while you are shooting a 

movie. The time code will continue in the sequence of the 
movie files captured.

: The time code counts up whether you are shooting a 

movie or not.

You can set the time code’s start time.

Manual input setting : You can freely set the hour, minute, second, 

and frames.

: The time set with [Manual input setting] and 

[Set to camera time] is reset to “00:00:00.” or 
“00:00:00:” (p.341).

: Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match the 

camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be set to 00.

Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy 
between the actual time and time code.

 

If [Free run] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving 
time (p.47), the time code will be affected.

 

If you use a different camera to play an MP4 movie recorded with this 
camera, the time code may not be displayed correctly.
