Setting the Time Code
The camera generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time code signal can be
output from the TIME CODE terminal or HDMI OUT terminal.
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop frame time
code signal (
A 99). The default mode varies depending on the country/region of purchase and, though the time
code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this section the NDF display style is used for simplicity’s sake.
Selecting the Time Code Mode

recorded on the card. The time code runs only while recording so clips recorded consecutively
on the same card will have continuous time codes.
