Setting the Time Code’s Initial Value
If you set the running mode to [ Preset], you can set the initial value of the time code.
1 Select [Initial Time Code].
> [3 " Recording Setup] > [Initial Time Code]
The time code setting screen appears with an orange selection frame indicating the hours.
Select [Reset] to reset the time code to [00:00:00:00] and return to the previous screen. If the
running mode is set to [ Free Run], the time code will be reset the moment you select the
button and keep running continuously from 00:00:00:00.
2Select [Í] or [Î] to set the value for the hours and then select the minutes field.
Change the rest of the fields (minutes, seconds, frame) in the same way.
3 After completing all the fields of the time code, select [OK].
Select [Cancel] to close the screen without changing the time code.
If the running mode is set to [ Free Run], the time code will start running from the time code
entered the moment you select [OK].
4Select [X].
NOTES
When the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23. For other
settings, it runs from 0 to 29.
However, if > [£ Display Setup] > [HDMI Scan Mode] is set to [ PsF (Forced
1080i)], even when the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the frames value of the time code output from
the HDMI OUT terminal will be converted so it runs from 0 to 29.
You can use the > [3 Recording Setup] > [HDMI Time Code] setting to turn time code
output from the HDMI OUT terminal on or off.
When slow & fast motion recording is activated, you cannot select the [ Free Run] running
mode. Conversely, when pre-recording is activated, [ Free Run] is set automatically and
cannot be changed.
When slow & fast motion recording is activated, the time code signal cannot be output from the
HDMI OUT terminal.
When you are using the [ Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as
long as the built-in backup battery has some charge left, even if you disconnect all other power
sources. However, this is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
