Sony ILCE-7S - Manual (Page 172)

Records the time code in Non-Drop Frame format.
*
The time code is based on 30 frames per second. However, a gap between the actual time and the time
code will occur during extended periods of recording as the frame frequency of the NTSC image signal is
approximately 29.97 frames per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make the time code and actual
time equal. In drop frame, the first 2 frame numbers are removed every minute except for every tenth
minute. The time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.
The setting is fixed to [NDF] when recording in 1080/24p.
