Confirm that the TC LINK IN/OUT
switch (page 7) is set to IN, then supply
the reference time code.
The built-in timecode generator of your
camcorder locks to the reference timecode, and
the message "TC IN" is displayed on the screen.
Even if the reference timecode from the external
device is disconnected, the external lock will be
kept.
Notes
• If the frequency of the reference time code and the
frame frequency are not the same, a lock cannot be
acquired, and the camcorder will not operate properly.
In such a case, the timecode will not be correctly
locked to the external timecode.
• When the reference timecode is supplied, set the
camcorder to standby.
• When the connection is removed, the timecode
advance may shift some frames per hour with respect
to the reference timecode.
To release the external timecode
synchronization
Change the "Timecode" setting in the TC/UB
menu.
External synchronization is also released when
you start recording in a special recording mode.

Notes
• When you set the frame rate of the recording format to
23.98P and the HDMI output setting to 1920×1080i or
720×480i, the timecode output of your camcorder is
with the frame rate of 30 fps. If you want to output with
the frame rate of 24 fps, change the settings of the
HDMI output.
