• The time code setting screen appears with an orange selection frame indicating the hours.
• Select [Reset] to reset the time code to [00:00:00:00] and return to the previous screen. If the
running mode is set to [
Free Run], the time code will be reset the moment you select the
button and keep running continuously from 00:00:00:00.
2 Select [
Í
] or [
Î
] to set the value for the hours and then select the minutes field.
• Change the rest of the fields (minutes, seconds, frame) in the same way.
3 After completing all the fields of the time code, select [OK].
• Select [Cancel] to close the screen without changing the time code.
• If the running mode is set to [

NOTES
• When the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23. For other
settings, it runs from 0 to 29.
• However, if

[SDI/HDMI Scan Mode] (
s
only) or [HDMI Scan
Mode] (
t
only) is set to [
PsF (Forced 1080i)], even when the frame rate is set to 23.98P,
the frames value of the time code output from the SDI OUT terminal (
s
only) and HDMI OUT
terminal will be converted so it runs from 0 to 29.
• You can use the

[HDMI Time Code] setting to turn time code
output from the HDMI OUT terminal on or off.
• When slow & fast motion recording is activated, you cannot select the [
Free Run] running
mode. Conversely, when pre-recording is activated, [
Free Run] is set automatically and
cannot be changed.
• When slow & fast motion recording is activated, the time code signal cannot be output from the SDI
OUT terminal (
s
only) or HDMI OUT terminal.
• When you are using the [
Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as
long as the built-in backup battery has some charge left, even if you disconnect all other power
sources. However, this is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
