running mode will be changed automatically to [Free Run] when pre-recording is activated.
- When the special recording mode is deactivated, the time code running mode will return to its previous
setting.
• You can use only one special recording mode at a time.
• If the system frequency is changed, pre-recording mode will be canceled.
