Remaining battery time indicator during recording
The remaining battery time indicator roughly indicates the continuous recording time.
The indicator may not be correct, depending on the conditions in which you are
recording. When you close the LCD panel and open it again, it takes about one minute
for the correct remaining battery time in minutes to be displayed.
Time code
The time code indicates the recording or playback time, "00:00:00:00" (hours : minutes :
seconds : frames). You cannot rewrite only the time code. You can preset the time code.
The time code can be preset or be reset during recording (p. 121).
On user bits display
You can display the user bits, pressing TC/U-BIT (p. 125).
Remaining tape indicator
The indicator may not be displayed accurately depending on the tape.
Recording data
The recording data (date/time or various settings when recorded) are not displayed
while recording. However, they are recorded automatically on the tape. To display the
recording data, press DATA CODE on PAGE2 during playback. You can also use the
Remote Commander for this operation (p. 43). When you want to display the date and
time during shooting, set DATE REC to ON in the menu settings (p. 223). However,
once you record with the date and time, you cannot erase them.
