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> mode) 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 initial point (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.368).

Set to camera time : Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match the 

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

If you shoot a High Frame Rate movie with [Free run] set, the time code 
will not be appended.

 

If [Free run] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving 
time (p.51), the time code will be affected.

 

If you play back an MP4 movie with a device other than the camera, the 
time code may not be displayed properly.
