1
Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC].
2
Position the TCG switch at [SET].
3
Set the menu option TC MODE to “DF” or “NDF”. “DF”
steps the time code in drop frame mode, and “NDF”
steps it in non-drop frame mode. However, the
camera always operates in “NDF” for 24P, 24PA and
24PN (Native) modes.
The menu option TC MODE can be found in the <TC/
UB> screen, which is accessible from the MAIN
OPERATION page.
‹ Note
Switching between DF and NDF is operative only
when the system frequency of the camera-recorder is
set to 59.94 Hz.
4
Use the CURSOR buttons to set the time code.
The time code setting range extends from
00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:29 (59.94 Hz), 23:59:59:23
(24PN) or to 23:59:59:24 (50 Hz).
! button: Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the right.
" button: Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the left.
# button: Advances the blinking number by one digit.
$ button: Winds back the blinking number by one digit.
5
Change the position of the TCG switch.
[F-RUN] steps the time code in free run mode, and [R-
RUN] set it in recording run mode.
‹ Notes
z When the unit is in the 24P or 24PA mode, time
code settings are adjusted to the five-frame unit.
For 24PN (Native) mode, it is adjusted for counting
by the four-frame unit. For 30PN UN (Native) of
720P, it is adjusted to even numbers. In the 25PN
(Native) mode of 720P, [Sec + Frame] is adjusted to
even numbers. The time code cannot be set when
recording in the 24P, 24PA, and 24PN (Native)
formats.
z When the TCG switch is positioned at [SET],
thumbnails cannot be manipulated.
When the TGC switch is positioned to R-RUN, the time
code recorded on the last frame of the last recorded clip
(with the latest recording date) on the P2 card is read, and
this time code can be used again.
When the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to REGEN
and a P2 card is removed or inserted or the target
recording card is changed with the USER button for the
SLOT SEL function, the same time code is added to the
last recorded clip on the target P2 card. When there is no
recorded clip, the time code is recorded on the new
recording target P2 card, from the value generated by the
TC generator built into the camera-recorder.
The menu option FIRST TC REC can be found in the <TC/
UB> screen, which is accessible from the MAIN
OPERATION page.
If the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to PRESET, if the
time code has been set or reset, or if the time code has
been switched from free run to Rec run, it is possible to
regenerate the time code as the last time code of a clip
recorded on the P2 card.
This action requires you to preset the RET SW menu
option on the SW MODE screen to R. REVIEW and the
REC REVIEW REGEN menu option on the TC/UB screen
to ON.
1
Make sure the P2 card to record the data. To
regenerate the time code of the last recorded clip
when more than one P2 card is inserted, press the
Thumbnail button to open the thumbnail screen.
2
Be sure a P2 card is inserted for recording the clip
displayed at the end of the screen, and then switch
the slot with the USER button assigned the SLOT
SEL function so that data will be recorded on the P2
card.
3
Press the RET button on the lens. The message “TC
REGEN” is displayed in the viewfinder. During the
next recording, the time code of the last recorded clip
on the card will be regenerated.
‹ Notes
z When a card with recorded data is changed, the
time code of the last recorded clip on the changed
P2 card will be regenerated.
z This function is disabled during recording or free-
run.
Even during battery replacement, the backup mechanism
functions, allowing the camera-recorder to operate
continuously.
If SYSTEM MODE is changed, a free-run time code may
shift. After turning on the power again, confirm the time
code and reset if necessary.
‹ Note
When the POWER switch has been switched ON # OFF
# ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run
mode is about ±2 frames.
