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.
The setting is fixed to [NDF] when recording in 4K/24p or 1080/24p.
