Full-HD (1080p) Variable Frame Rate Recording. An AVCHD Recording for Creative, High-Quality Image Production.

SMPTE Time-Code Recording and 
Synchro Function

The built-in SMPTE time-code generator lets 
you select the Drop Frame/Non-Drop Frame 
and Free Run/Rec Run modes and preset. 
User bits are also provided.
Connecting two cameras with a TC preset

separately and not be guaranteed to match precisely.

be saved as metadata in a clip file. By 
loading a clip file, the saved settings can be 
immediately applied.
