Using the Time Code
The time code shows the hour, minute and
second of recording, and the frame number
(1 frame = approx. 1/30 sec.). This is automati-
cally recorded along with the subject when you
are recording on the tape. You can display the
time code on the screen as an accurate
counter in both TAPE-VCR and TAPE-CAMERA
modes.
