The time code is based on 30 frames per second. However, a gap between the actual time and the
time code will occur during extended periods of recording as the frame frequency of the NTSC image
signal is approximately 29.97 frames per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make the time code
and actual time equal. In drop frame, the first 2 frame numbers are removed every minute except for
every tenth minute. The time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.
The setting is fixed to [NDF] when recording in 4K/24p or 1080/24p.
