Setting The Time Code; Selecting The Time Code Mode - Canon EOS C700 Instruction Manual

Setting the Time Code

In shooting mode, the camera generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time
code signal can be output from the SDI OUT terminals, MON. terminals and TIME CODE IN/OUT terminal. In
playback mode, the time code embedded in the clip being played back can be output from the SDI OUT
terminals and MON. terminals. You can also synchronize the camera's time code with an external device
(A 106, 107).
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop frame time
code signal (A 102). The default mode varies depending on the country/region of purchase and, though the
time code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this section the NDF display style is used for simplicity's
sake.

Selecting the Time Code Mode

1 Open the time code [Mode] submenu.
[OPTIONS] > [Mode]
Setup screen:
Monitoring menu:
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
[Preset]: The time code starts from an initial value you can select in advance. The default initial time code
is 00:00:00.00.
See the following procedures to select the time code running mode and set the initial time code.
[Regen.]: The camera will read the selected recording media and the time code will continue from the last
time code recorded on the recording media. The time code runs only while recording so clips
recorded consecutively on the same recording media will have continuous time codes.
NOTES NOTES
• When the main recording format is set to [ProRes (CFast)] and a CFast card is not inserted in the camera, sub
recording clips will not be recorded even if an SD card is inserted in the camera. For this reason, when the time
code running mode is set to [Regen.], the last time code recorded on the SD card will not be read.
Setting the Time Code Running Mode
If you set the time code mode to [Preset], you can select the time code running mode.
1 Open the time code [Run] submenu.
[OPTIONS] > [Run]
Setup screen:
Monitoring menu:
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
[Rec Run]: The time code runs only while recording so clips recorded consecutively on the same recording
media will have continuous time codes.
[Free Run]: The time code starts running the moment you press SET and keeps running regardless of the
camera's operation.
