Setting the Time Code

74

Selecting Drop Frame or Non-Drop Frame

You can select between a drop frame (DF) or non-drop frame (NDF) time code, depending on how you 
plan to use your recording. When the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the time code will be set to non-drop 
frame.

1 Open the [DF/NDF] screen.

 [DF/NDF]

2 Select [

 

DF] or [

 

NDF] and then touch [X].

• The time code’s display will differ depending on the setting. If you selected [

 DF], the time 

code will appear as [00:00:00.00]; if you select [

 NDF], it will appear as [00:00:00:00].

NOTES

• When the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23. For other 

settings, it runs from 0 to 29.

• When you are using pre-recording mode, [Free Run] is automatically set and cannot be changed.
• When you mix drop frame and non-drop frame time codes, there might be a discontinuity in the time 

code at the point where the recordings starts.

• As long as the built-in rechargeable lithium battery is charged and you selected the [Free Run] 

option, the time code continues to run even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this 
is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
