Setting the Time Code
72
3 After completing all the fields of the time code, select [OK].
• Select [Cancel] to close the screen without changing the time code.
• If the running mode is set to [ Free Run], the time code will start running from the time code entered
the moment you select [OK].
4 Select [X].
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 recordings. However, when the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the time code is set to non-drop frame
(NDF) and cannot be changed.
1 Select [DF/NDF].
> [3 # Recording Setup] > [DF/NDF]
2 Select [ DF] or [ NDF] and then select [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].
• 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 slow & fast motion recording is activated, you cannot select the [ Free Run] running mode.
Conversely, when pre-recording is activated, [ 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 slow & fast motion recording is activated, the time code signal cannot be output from the SDI OUT
terminal (z only) or HDMI OUT terminal.
• When you are using the [ Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as long as the
built-in backup battery has some charge left, even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this is
less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
Overlaying the Time Code/Date/Time on the Recorded Image
You can overlay the time code/date/time on the image and record it with the recorded clips. You can also select
the overlay's position on the screen (A 125).
1 Select the data to be displayed.

2 Select the position of the selected data.

• Recorded photos are not affected.
• When a custom picture file is enabled, the [/ Custom Picture] > [Noise Reduction] > [Frame Correlation]
setting is not available.
• This setting cannot be used when slow & fast motion recording is activated.
• This setting cannot be used in MEDIA mode.
