Recording in 24P (23.98P) Mode

Recording frame sequence and clip length

See the following figure for the frame sequence.

In 24P (23.98P) mode, recording start and stop timing is
adjusted so that a recorded sequence always begins with an
“A-frame” and ends with a “D-frame”. As a result, the
number of frames in a clip is always a multiple of 4.

Recording timecode

When you preset timecode manually, select a multiple of 4
as the number of frames in the timecode, and adjust so that
the preset timing begins with an “A-frame”.
The unit will then adjust so that the timecode at the start of
recorded clips will have a number of frames that is a
multiple of 4.

• The above adjustments are not carried out when you

preset timecode remotely.

• No adjustments are made when you record external

timecode. Therefore the number of frames in the
