timecode.

left of the Home Screen changes to the recording indicator and
some of the background turns red to show that it is recording.
The time counter starts at the same time.
When the elapsed time (ABS time) from the beginning of the

frames), “RECORD stopped. ABS time is over 24h” appears in a
pop-up message and recording stops.
