NOTE: Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
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.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from "00:00:00"
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (
portion is recorded 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
codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent leaving a blank portion on a tape,
perform the procedure in "Recording From The Middle of A Tape" (see below) in the following cases;
• After playing back the recorded tape, when you
shoot again.
• 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 already shooting a
scene and opening/closing the cassette cover.
