Setting the Time Code
The camcorder generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time code
signal can be output from the SDI OUT terminal (s only) and HDMI OUT terminal.
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop
frame time code signal (A 66). Though the time code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this
section the NDF display style is used for simplicity’s sake.
Selecting the Time Code Mode
1 Select [Time Code Mode].
> [3 " Recording Setup] > [Time Code Mode]
2 Select the desired option and then select [X].
• If you selected [ Regen.], you do not need to perform the following procedures to set the
time code running mode or the time code’s initial value.
Options
Setting the Time Code Running Mode
If you set the time code mode to [ Preset], you can select the time code running mode.
1 Select [Time Code Running Mode].
> [3 " Recording Setup] > [Time Code Running Mode]
2 Select the desired option and then select [X].
Options
Operating modes:
[ Preset]: The time code starts from an initial value you can select in advance. The default
initial time code is 00:00:00:00.
See the following procedures to select the time code running mode and set the
initial time code.
[ Regen.]: The camcorder will read the selected SD card and the time code will continue from
the last time code recorded on the card. The time code runs only while recording
so clips recorded consecutively on the same SD card will have continuous time
codes.
[ Rec Run]: The time code runs only while recording so clips recorded consecutively on the
same SD card will have continuous time codes.
[ Free Run]: The time code starts running the moment you confirm the selection and keeps
running regardless of the camcorder’s operation.
