Setting the Time Code
The time code continues to run normally while the time code display is on
hold. When you resume the time code display, the current time code will
be displayed.
* The time code signal output from the HD/SD SDI terminal (b only) or TIME
CODE terminal (b only) will not be put on hold. The time code
superimposed on the video signal output from the other terminals will be put on
hold.
About the Time Code Display
An icon may appear next to the time code depending on the operation.
Refer to the following table.
NOTES
When the [J Other Functions] [Frame Rate] setting is set to [24P],
the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23. For other settings,
it runs from 0 to 29.
b When the [J Other Functions] [Frame Rate] setting is set
to [24P], the frames value in the time code signal output from the HD/
SD SDI terminal or TIME CODE terminal runs from 0 to 29.
When you are using interval recording, frame recording or slow & fast
motion recording mode, you cannot select the [Free Run] option for the
[Preset] running mode. Conversely, 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 recording
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.
If you set an assignable button to [Time Code] (0 117), you can press
the button to open the [L TC/UB Setup] [Time Code] submenu.
