You can also reset the user bit by selecting [Setup] - [
To select the recording method of the time code (TC Format)
- [Setup] - [
DF: Records the time code compensating gaps that arise between the actual time. (Drop frame* method)
NDF: Records the time code without compensating gaps that arise between the actual time. (Non-drop frame
method)
*
When the frame rate is set to 30p or 60p for the NTSC TV color system, the time code is based on 30 or 60 frames per second. However, gaps
in the actual time occur during extended periods of recording as the actual frame frequency of the NTSC image signal is 29.97 frames per
second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make the time code and actual time equal. In drop frame, the first 2 frame numbers (for 30p, 4 frame
numbers for 60p) are removed every minute except in every tenth minute. The time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.
To select how the time code advances (TC Run)
- [Setup] - [
Rec Run: Advances the time code during movie recording. Select this setting to record the time code sequentially
from the last time code of the previous recording.
Even if the time code advances in [Rec Run] mode, the time code may not be recorded sequentially when the
recording media is removed.
Free Run: Advances the time code regardless of the operation of the camcorder.
To select the method how the time code is recorded in the recording media (TC Make)
- [Setup] - [
Preset: Records the newly set time code on the recording media.
Regenerate: Reads the last time code of the previous recording from the recording media and records the new time
code sequentially from the last time code.
Note
Settings for the time code/user bit cannot be set when [Shooting Mode] is set to [Photo] or [Time-lapse Capture].
[TC Run] of the time code/user bit is fixed to [Rec Run], during [Smth Slw REC] or [Golf Shot].
[TC Format] is fixed to [NDF] (non-drop frame method) when [
The time code or user bit are not recorded on MP4 movies recorded simultaneously when [Dual Video REC]] is set to [On].
