Setting the Time Code’s Initial Value

If you set the time code mode to [

Preset], you can set the initial

value of the time code.

1 Press the MENU button.

2 Open the [Initial Time Code] screen.

[3 Recording Setup] > [2] > [Initial Time Code]

• The time code setting screen appears with an orange selection frame

indicating the hours.

3 Touch [Í] or [Î] to set the hours and then touch the next field to set the minutes.

4 Change the rest of the fields (seconds, frame) in the same way.

• Touch [Cancel] to close the screen without setting the time code.

• Touch [Reset] to reset the time code. If the running mode is set to [

Free Run], the time code will start

running immediately after the time code is reset.

5 Touch [OK] and then touch [X].

• If the running mode is set to [

Free Run], the time code will start running from the selected time code

the moment you touch [OK].

Selecting Drop 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 recordings. When the
frame rate is set to 23.98P or 24.00P, the time code is set to non-drop
frame (NDF) and cannot be changed and the [DF/NDF] setting below will
appear grayed out in the menu.

1 Open the [DF/NDF] submenu.

[3 Recording Setup] > [2] > [DF/NDF]

2 Select [

DF] or [

NDF] and then touch [X].

• The time code display will differ depending on the setting. When you select [

DF], the time code will

appear as [00:00:00.00]; when you select [

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

NOTES

• The frames value of the time code runs from 0 to 23 (frame rate set to 23.98P or 24.00P) or from 0 to 29 (all

other frame rates).

• However, when the video output from the HDMI OUT terminal is 59.94i/59.94P/60.00P, the frames value of the

time code output from the terminal will be 0 to 29, regardless of the camcorder’s frame rate setting.

• When you are using slow & fast motion recording mode, you cannot select the [

Free Run] running mode.

Conversely, when you are using pre-recording mode, [

Free Run] is set automatically 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 recording starts.

• When you are using the [

Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as long as the

built-in rechargeable lithium battery is charged, even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this
is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
