[Rec Run] mode.

Reads the last time code for the previous recording from the recording medium and records the new time code
consecutively from the last time code. The time code is read from the memory card in the slot 1 when [Recording Mode]
under [Rec. Media Settings] is set to [Simult. (
)] or [Simult. ( / )]. The time code is read from the memory card
to which the movies will be recorded when [Recording Mode] is set to [Standard], [Simult. ( )], [Sort(RAW/JPEG)],
[Sort(JPEG/RAW)] or [Sort( / )]. The time code advances in [Rec Run] mode regardless of the [TC Run] setting.

The time code is based on 30 frames per second. However, a gap between the actual time and the time code will occur during extended periods
of recording as the frame frequency of the NTSC image signal is approximately 29.97 frames per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make
the time code and actual time equal. In drop frame, the first 2 frame numbers are removed every minute except for every tenth minute. The time
code without this correction is called non-drop frame. *2
