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. 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
(

pg. 20)
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”. (
