Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.

continues from the last time code number.

portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time
code starts counting up again from "00:00:00". This means the camcorder may record the same time

•When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
•When power shuts off during shooting.
•When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
•When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
•When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
•When shooting again after shooting a scene
