TAPE RECORDING
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape.
This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code
begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame).
If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded
scene, the time code continues from the last time code
number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (
墌
pg. 30 – 32),
time code is necessary. If during recording a blank
portion is left partway through the tape, the time code
is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time
code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This
means the camcorder may record the same time codes
as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To
prevent this, perform “RECORDING FROM THE
MIDDLE OF A TAPE” in the following cases;
• When shooting again after playing back a recorded
tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located partway
through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene then
opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
