Time Code; Quick Review; Recording From The Middle Of A Tape - JVC GR-DF450 Instructions Manual

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.
Display
12 : 34 : 24
* Frames are not displayed during recording.
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 (See the right column.) 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.
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". (
