Canon XA20 - Manual (Page 76)

Setting the Time Code
76
NOTES
• When you are using pre-recording mode, [Free Run] is automatically set and cannot be changed.
• As long as the built-in rechargeable lithium battery is charged and you selected the [Free Run]
option, the time code continues to run even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this
is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
