Use the SEL/SET dial to set the time code value.
To change the value of the flashing digit, turn the dial,
and to shift to the next digit, press the dial. Repeat this
until all desired digits are set.

To make the time code consecutive
When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN,
recording a number of scenes on the disc normally
produces consecutive time code. However, once you
remove the disc and record on another disc, the time code
will no longer be contiguous when you use again the
original disc for recording. In this case, to make the time
code consecutive, proceed as follows.

Press the RET button on the lens.
This reads the previous recording and synchronizes the
internal time code generator, thus allowing the new
time code recorded to follow on consecutively.
