z Tips
What is drop frame?
Although 30 frames are considered as 1 second in
time code processing, the actual frame frequency
of an NTSC image signal is 29.97 frames/sec. As
a result, the time code gradually lags behind real
time as the recording gets longer. The drop frame
function adjusts the time code to real time. In the
drop frame process, the first 2 frames of each
second are not recorded except in every tenth
minute. Recording without the drop frame process
is called non-drop frame recording.

b Notes
• Even if the time code advances in the [REC
RUN] mode, the time code may not be recorded
sequentially in the following cases:
– When the recording format is changed.
– When the images are recorded on the memory
card and the flash memory unit
