Cautions in switching the power source
from battery to external power supply
Connect the DC IN socket with the external power supply
before removing the battery, in order to keep the time code
generator energized. If the battery is removed first, there is
no guarantee that the time code will stay externally locked.
External synchronisation of the camera
when the time code is externally locked
When the time code is externally locked, the reference
video signals input through the GENLOCK IN connector
gen-lock the camera.
 NOTE
• To lock other devices externally to the AG-3DP1, as the
master device, make sure that the other devices are in
the same mode as the AG-3DP1. Note that if some of the
connected devices use interlaced scanning while other
devices use progressive scanning, there may be breaks in
the video and time code.
• To externally lock at 24PN (Native Recording), be sure to
input a non-dropframe time code. External lock using a drop
frame time code is not possible.
Counter Setting and Display
Pressing the COUNTER button to view the counter displays
the counter value on the time code indicator on the
LCD monitor and in the viewfinder. The counter value is
indicated in “Hour : Minute : Second” format. The counter
value is not displayed during playback.
The menu option REC COUNTER in the DISPLAY SETUP
screen can be set to display two types of counters.
TOTAL: provides a continuous count until reset by
pressing the COUNTER RESET button. The
counter value is retained when P2 cards are
replaced and when the power is turned off.
CLIP: The counter is reset to 0 at the start of each
recording and allows you to keep track of clip
recording time while shooting the current clip.
 NOTE
• Pressing the RESET button when the counter value is
displayed resets the counter to 0.
• The counter value indicates values in the range between
0:00:00 and 9:59:59 in 1-second steps.
