Selecting Drop or Non-Drop Frame
When the frame rate is set to 29.97P, 59.94i, or 59.94P, you can select
between a drop frame (DF) or non-drop frame (NDF) time code,
depending on how you plan to use your recordings.
With all other frame rates, the time code is set to non-drop frame (NDF)
and cannot be changed.

Putting the Time Code Display on Hold
If you set an assignable button to [Time Code Hold] (

the time code*. While the time code display is put on hold, [ H ] will appear on the screen next to the time code
and [HOLD] will appear on the rear panel.
The time code continues to run normally while the time code display is on hold. When you resume the time code
display, the current time code will be displayed.
* The time code signal output from the terminals and the time code recorded on the clip when using the [OSD Recording (CFast)]
function (
A

will be put on hold.
