Sony DSR-250 User Manual

The camcorder uses two types of time values: time code values and user bits.
The time value is displayed on the LCD screen, in the viewfinder, or on the display
window.
The user bits are convenient when using multiple cameras at the same event.
When you record the picture, time code data will be recorded automatically.

This section describes the steps for setting time code recording methods for particular
shooting conditions and setting initial values.

(1) Set the MEMORY/CAMERA/VTR selector to VTR or CAMERA.

it to display the menu.

in non-drop-frame mode.
