Using Timecode

For Timecode operation, please make sure that

the magazine is equipped with a Timecode

exposure module K2.55034.0.

Turning on and off the TC Recording

• Using the “MODE“ key

a

photo

, switch to Mode 4

(Timecode time).

• Depress the “SET“ key

a

photo

for approx. 3 s until

the “TC“ symbol appears or disappears on the display.

When the camera is first turned on without a previously set

valid Timecode remaining in the buffer, the Timecode clock

starts running from time 00:00:00:00, with the User Bits set

to 00000000. This happens regardless of whether TC is

turned on or not. TC time can only be set by the master clock.

User Bits can be set either by the master clock or entered

manually with the camera display. If TC is turned on but not

set by external synchronization, a warning will be displayed.

If a speed is set on the camera which does not correspond

to TC, the TC generator retains the most recently set frame

rate. While Timecode is in use and the speed is changed

from one to another valid Timecode speed, the “TC“ symbol

on the display goes off for approx. 1 s and reappears once

the TC generator is ready.
