Setting The Time Code; Selecting The Running Mode - Canon XF305 Instruction Manual

Setting the Time Code

The camcorder can generate a time code signal and embed it in your
recordings. You can have the camcorder output the time code signal from
the HD/SD SDI terminal (b only) or TIME CODE terminal (b
only; 0 91). In addition, you can superimpose the time code on video
output from the HDMI OUT terminal, HD/SD COMPONENT OUT terminal,
AV terminal or VIDEO 2 terminal. You can also select between a drop
frame and non-drop frame time code.
b To synchronize the camcorder's time code to an external time
code generator, refer to Synchronizing with an External Device (0 89).
