Digital 4K Video Camera Recorder

FDR-AX700

TC FORMAT

You can select the time code recording method when

(OTHERS) - [60i/50i SEL ] is set to [ 60i] (Movie mode

only).

When selecting [ 50i], this setting is fixed to [ NDF].

Descriptions of menu items

DF:

Records the time code in drop frame.

NDF:

Records the time code in non-drop frame.

About drop frame

Time code is based on 30 frames per second; however , gaps in the actual time occur during extended periods of

recording as the actual frame frequency of NTSC image signal is 29.97 frames per second. Drop frame corrects

this gap to make time code and actual time equal.

In drop frame, the first 2 frame numbers are removed every minute except in every tenth minute. T ime code

without this correction is called non-drop frame.

Note

This setting is fixed to [NDF ] when [ REC FORMAT] is set to the setting value whose frame rate is 24p even if [ 60i] is

selected in [ 60i/50i SEL ].
