Duration Display
At the top of your camera’s LCD touchscreen, you’ll see your camera’s duration display.
Your camera’s duration display will turn red while recording.
The duration display provides a timecode counter for checking the duration of your clips and
monitoring timecode during recording and playback. The counter displays a time sequence
showing Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames and will changes accordingly as you record or play
back clips. During recording the timecode is red.
The displayed duration starts from 00:00:00:00. The clip duration of the current or last
recorded clip is displayed on the touchscreen. Time of day timecode is embedded into clips for
easier post production.
To see the timecode, simply tap the duration display. Tap the duration display again to
return to clip duration.
