When [Main Menu] B [System] B [Record Set]
B [Record Format]
B [Frame Rate] is set to
“60p”, “60i”, or “30p”, the actual number of
frames per second is approximately 59.94
(29.97). However, the time code processing
standard is “60p”, “60i”, or “30p” frames. To
make up for the frame number discrepancy, the
drop frame mode (Drop) drops the 00 frame and
01 frame every minute except for minutes that
are multiples of 10. However, in the case of
“60p”, the 00, 01, 02 and 03 frame are dropped.
0
The
non-drop
frame mode (Non Drop) does not
drop frames and ignores the discrepancy with
the actual time.
