Setting the Time Code
272
If the frame rate setting is
6
(29.97 fps) or
8
(59.94 fps), the time
code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the actual time and
time code. This discrepancy can be corrected automatically. This
correction function is called drop frame.
[
Enable
]
: The discrepancy is corrected automatically by skipping
time code numbers (DF: Drop frame).
[
Disable
] : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).
The time code will be displayed as follows:
[
Enable
] (DF)
: 00:00:00. (00:00:00.00 during playback)
[
Disable
] (NDF) : 00:00:00: (00:00:00:00 during playback)
Drop Frame
If the frame rate is
4
(23.98 fps),
5
(25.00 fps), or
7
(50.00 fps), there
will be no drop frames. (If
4
is set or if [
5
3: Video system
] is set to [
PAL
],
the drop frame option will not appear.)
