Setting the Time Code

Setting the Time Code’s Initial Value

If you set the time code mode to [Preset], you can set the initial value of

the time code.

1 Open the time code [Setting] submenu.

[¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [Time Code] > [Setting]

2 Select [Set] and then press SET.

• The time code setting screen appears with an orange selection frame

indicating the hours.

• To reset the time code to [00:00:00.00], select [Reset] instead. If the running mode is set to [Free Run], the

time code will be reset the moment you press SET and keep running continuously from 00:00:00.00.

3 Push the joystick up/down or turn the SELECT dial to set the hours and press SET to move to the minutes.

• Change the rest of the fields (minutes, seconds, frame) in the same way.

• Press the CANCEL button to close the screen without setting the time code.

4 Select [Set] and press SET to close the screen.

• If the running mode is set to [Free Run], the time code will start running from the selected time code the

moment you press SET.

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.

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 135), 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.

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 149) 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.
