1
Set the <DISPLAY> switch to <TC>.
2
Set the <TCG> switch to <SET>.
3
Set [DF] or [NDF] in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [TC/UB] → [DF MODE].
For details, refer to "Setting menu basic operations" (page 147).
f Set [DF] to advance the time code in the drop frame mode, and set [NDF] to advance it in the non-drop frame mode. However, note that the time
code runs by [NDF] at all times in the 24PN mode.

f Screen display
- I: The digit to be set (flashing) moves to the right.
- Y: The digit to be set (flashing) moves to the left.
- `: The value of the digit to set (flashing) is incremented by one.

5
Switch by the <TCG> switch.
To advance the time code by free run, switch to <F-RUN>, and to advance by recording run, switch to <R-RUN>.
Settable time code range
For 59.94 Hz (except for 24PN)
For 24PN
For 50 Hz:
@ NOTE
t Switching of [DF] and [NDF] is enabled when the system frequency of the camera is set to 59.94 Hz.
t When using with 24PN, the time code setting is adjusted in 4-frame units.
With 720/30PN and 720/25PN, the time code is adjusted to even numbers. Also, with 24PN, the time code cannot be set during recording.
t Thumbnail operations and menu operations on thumbnail operation section are not possible while the <TCG> switch is set to <SET>.
Time code regeneration
When the <TCG> switch is set to <R-RUN>, the time code currently recorded to the last frame of the last clip (clip with the newest recording date and
time) recorded to the P2 card can be read and recorded. If the P2 card is removed or inserted or a card to be recorded is changed by the [SLOT SEL]
function of the <USER> button while [REGEN] is selected in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [TC/UB] → [FIRST REC TC], the time code is carried over
and recorded to the clip last recorded on the P2 card that was to be recorded to. If there are no recorded clips, the time code is recorded from the TC
generator value on the camera.
