Setting the Time Code
Time code
The time code can be appended to a movie that is output via HDMI
(p.350).
Enable : Appends time code to HDMI output movie.
Disable : Time code not appended to HDMI output movie.
Record command
When you record a movie that is an output from HDMI to an external
recording device, the camera’s movie shooting start/stop can sync
with the recording from that external recording device.
Enable : Synchronizes external recording device’s recording start/
stop with camera’s movie shooting start/stop.
Disable : Controls external device’s recording start/stop from
external recording device.
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)
