Chapter 4 Shooting — Setting the time data
t After executing slave once, even if input from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal stops, the slave status will continue. However, in the following cases, the
slave status of the user bits will be released.
- When [UBG MODE] is set to other than [EXT]
- When user bits are set in the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI
- When the power is turned off
t The internal [USER] value retains the slaved value even after slave lock is released.
t To input external time codes from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal, set [TC IN] in the main menu → [IN/OUT SEL] → [TC IN/OUT SEL].
