Time code in 720P native mode
• At 24PN, recording is performed at 24 frames and output uses a 2:3 pull-down scheme to produce 30 frames.
• At a frame rate (capture frame rate) of 24P the speed of recording and the output time code matches actual time,
but not at any speed other than 24P. (Example: at 60P recording progresses at 60/24 speed)
• Then the camera operates in Rec Run mode and the time code output at start of recording matches the recording
time code.
• This is also the case for other than 30P capture at 30PN and other than 25P capture at 25PN.
