Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape.
This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene
on the tape during playback.
* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code
begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame).
If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded
scene, the time code continues from the last time code
number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (
time code is necessary. If during recording a blank
portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is
interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code
starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the
camcorder may record the same time codes as those
existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this,
perform “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” (see
below) in the following cases;
●
When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.
●
When power shuts off during shooting.
●
When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.
●
When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
●
When shooting on a blank portion located partway through
the tape.
●
When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/
closing the cassette holder cover.
NOTES:
●
The time code cannot be reset.
●
During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code
indication does not move smoothly.
●
The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set
to “ON”. (
