Setting the Time Code
If the frame rate setting is
6
(29.97 fps) or
8
(59.94 fps), the time
code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the actual time and
time code. This discrepancy can be corrected automatically. This
correction function is called “drop frame.”
Enable : The discrepancy is corrected automatically by skipping time
code numbers (DF: Drop frame).
Disable : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).
The time code will be displayed as follows:
Enable (DF) : 00:00:00. (Playback time: 00:00:00.00)
Disable (NDF) : 00:00:00: (Playback time: 00:00:00:00)
Drop Frame
If the frame rate is
4
(23.98 fps),
5
(25.00 fps), or
7
(50.00 fps), drop
frame is not used. (If
4
is set or if [
5
3: Video system ] is set to [ For PAL ],
[ Drop frame ] will not be displayed.)
