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. 73 – 77), 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” below 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.
Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
1)
Play back a tape or use Blank Search (
墌
pg. 23) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then
engage the Still Playback mode. (
墌
pg. 22)
2)
Set the Power Switch to “
A
” or “
M
” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start
recording.
NOTES:
●
The time code cannot be reset.
●
During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.
●
The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set to “ON”. (
