 Setting the Time Code

 

Time code
The time code can be appended to a movie that is output via HDMI 
(p.350).
Enable: Appends time code to HDMI output movie.
Disable: Time code not appended to HDMI output movie.

 

Record command
When you record a movie that is an output from HDMI to an external 
recording device, the camera’s movie shooting start/stop can sync 
with the recording from that external recording device.
Enable: Synchronizes external recording device’s recording start/

stop with camera’s movie shooting start/stop.

Disable: Controls external device’s recording start/stop from 

external recording device.

If the frame rate setting is 6 (29.97 fps) or 8 (59.94 fps), the time 
code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the actual time and 
time code. This discrepancy can be corrected automatically. This 
correction function is called “drop frame.”
Enable : The discrepancy is corrected automatically by skipping time 

code numbers (DF: Drop frame).

Disable : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).

The time code will be displayed as follows:

Enable (DF)

:  00:00:00. (Playback time: 00:00:00.00)

Disable (NDF)

:  00:00:00: (Playback time: 00:00:00:00)

To check whether your external recording device is compatible with the 
[Time code] or [Rec command], consult the manufacturer.

If the frame rate is 4(23.98 fps), B(24.00 fps), 5(25.00 fps), or 
7

(50.00 fps), drop frame is not used. (If 4/B is set or if [53: Video 

system] is set to [For PAL], [Drop frame] will not be displayed.)
