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.
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 Snapshot Search (
Z
pg. 27) and Random Assemble Editing (
Z
pg. 60), time code is
necessary. If during recording a blank portion is recorded 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 leaving a blank portion on a tape, perform the procedure in "Recording From The Middle of
A Tape" (
Z
pg. 20) in the following cases;
•After playing back the recorded tape, when
you shoot again.
•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 already shooting a
scene and opening/closing the cassette cover.
NOTES:
●
The Time Code cannot be reset.
●
During fast-forwarding and rewinding, time code indication does not move smoothly.
