Canon MV5iMC Instruction Manual page 170

Time Code
E
This records counter information,
including hour, minute, second, and
frame number on a special data code
area on the tape itself. It is reset
automatically when a new tape is
loaded. In TAPE CAMERA mode, the
frame number doesn't appear in the
display.
Recording reminder
When you start recording, the
camcorder counts from 0 sec to 10 sec.
Shots which are shorter than ten
seconds may be difficult to edit later.
On the other hand, if you are not
planning to edit the recording,
remember that a shot which does not
contain action should generally last no
longer than 10 seconds.
" AUTO POWER OFF"
• The camcorder will turn itself off if
you leave it in record pause mode for
more than about 5 minutes. This
display appears 20 seconds (approx.)
before the camcorder turns off.
