Selecting Drop or Non-Drop Frame

When the frame rate is set to 29.97P, 59.94i, or 59.94P, you can select
between a drop frame (DF) or non-drop frame (NDF) time code,
depending on how you plan to use your recordings.
With all other frame rates, the time code is set to non-drop frame (NDF)
and cannot be changed.
Operating modes:
1 Open the [DF/NDF] submenu.
[¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [Time Code] > [DF/NDF]
2 Select [DF] or [NDF] and then press SET.
• The time code display will differ depending on the setting. When you select [DF], the time code will appear
as [00:00:00.00]; when you select [NDF], it will appear as [00:00:00:00].

Putting the Time Code Display on Hold

If you set an assignable button to [Time Code Hold] (A 131), you can press the button to freeze the display of
the time code*. While the time code display is put on hold, [H] will appear on the screen next to the time code
and [HOLD] will appear on the rear panel.
Operating modes:
The time code continues to run normally while the time code display is on hold. When you resume the time code
display, the current time code will be displayed.
* The time code signal output from the terminals and the time code recorded on the clip when using the [OSD Recording (CFast)]
function (A 144) will not be put on hold. However, the time code displayed on a monitor connected to the HDMI OUT terminal
will be put on hold.
