Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy
between the actual time and time code.
If [ Free run ] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving
time (p.47), the time code will be affected.
If you use a different camera to play an MP4 movie recorded with this
camera, the time code may not be displayed correctly.
