Tip
Drop frame
Time code is based on 30 frames per second;
however, gaps in the actual time occur during
extended periods of recording as the actual frame
frequency of NTSC image signal is 29.97 frames
per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make
time code and actual time equal. In drop frame,
the first 2 frame numbers are removed every
minute except in every tenth minute. Time code
without this correction is called non-drop frame.
You can select how the time code advances.
B REC RUN
Advances the time code only during
recording.
Select this setting to record the time code
sequentially from the last time code of the
previous recording.
FREE RUN
Advances the time code regardless of
operation of your camcorder.
b Notes
• Even if the time code advances in [REC RUN]
mode, the time code may not be recorded
sequentially in the following cases:
– When the recording format is changed.
– When the images are recorded to the memory
card simultaneously.
– When the memory card is removed.
• [REC RUN] is selected automatically for the
Slow & Quick Motion recording and Super
Slow Motion recording.
