Item Description
[USER] Records internal user values. You can set the user value in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [UB PRESET]. Setting
values are held even when the power is turned off.
For details, refer to “How to input user bits” (page 97).
[TIME] Records the time measured by the internal clock.
[DATE] Records the hour digit of year/month/day/date-time measured by the internal clock.
[TCG] Records the time code value.
[FRAME RATE] Records the camera photo frame rate information.
When playing back clips recorded in native format, the same frame rate information as VITC UB is output regardless of the

[REGEN] Reads the user bit last recorded to the microP2 memory card that is currently to be recorded to, and records this value without
changing.
