Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When
recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder
may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform
“Recording From The Middle of A Tape” below in the following cases;
• When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene
then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
1. Play back a tape or use Blank Search (
੬
pg. 22) to find the spot at which you want to start recording,
then engage the Still Playback mode (
੬
pg. 19).
2. Set the Power Switch to “ ” or “ ” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then
start recording.
NOTES:
● The time code cannot be reset.
● During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.
● The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set to “ON” (
੬
pg. 35, 37).
