frame sync clock sources:

internal crystal oscillator to drive the frame rate.
•
External - Should be selected when an externally
supplied frame sync clock pulse is connected to
‘F-Sync’ to drive the camera’s frame rate.
•
Time code - Should be selected when an external
SMPTE or IRIG time code device connected to the
‘Timecode in’ port to drive the camera’s frame rate.
•
Video - Should be selected to run the camera at -
or in multiples of - its current video rate. This is a
good option for sync-sound recording.
Scroll through the available sync options by pressing the
soft button under the ‘Sync’ button.
