Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC].
2
Position the TCG switch at [SET].
3
Set the menu option TC MODE to “DF” or
“NDF”.
“DF” steps the time code in drop frame mode, and
“NDF” steps it in non-drop frame mode. However, the
camera always operates in “NDF” for 24P, 24PA and
24PN (Native) modes. The menu item TC MODE is
found in the <TC/UB> screen on the MAIN
OPERATION page.
Note
Switching between DF and NDF is operative only when
the system frequency of the camera-recorder is set to
59.94 Hz.
4
Use the CURSOR buttons to set the time code.
The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00
to 23:59:59:29 (59.94 Hz), 23:59:59:23 (24PN) or to
23:59:59:24 (50 Hz).

Change the position of the TCG switch.
[F-RUN] steps the time code in free run mode, and [R-
RUN] set it in recording run mode.
Notes
z
When the unit is in the 24P or 24PA mode, time code
settings are adjusted to the five-frame unit. For 24PN
(Native) mode, it is adjusted for counting by the four-
frame unit. The time code cannot be set when recording
in the 24P, 24PA, and 24PN (Native) formats.
z
When the TCG switch is positioned at [SET],
thumbnails cannot be manipulated.
When the TGC switch is positioned to R-RUN, the time code
recorded on the last frame of the last recorded clip (with the
latest recording date) on the P2 card is read, and this time
code can be used again.
When the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to REGEN and
a P2 card is removed or inserted or the target recording card
is changed with the USER button for the SLOT SEL function,
the same time code is added to the last recorded clip on the
target P2 card. When there is no recorded clip, the time code
is recorded on the new recording target P2 card, from the
value generated by the TC generator built into the camera-
recorder. The menu item FIRST TC REC is found in the
<TC/UB> screen on the MAIN OPERATION page.
If the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to PRESET, if the
time code has been set or reset, or if the time code has been
switched from free run to Rec run, it is possible to
regenerate the time code as the last time code of a clip
recorded on the P2 card.
This action requires you to preset the RET SW menu option
to “R. REVIEW” and the REC REVIEW REGEN menu option
to “ON”. The menu item RET SW is found in the <SW
MODE> screen on the CAM OPERATION page, and the
menu item REC REVIEW REGEN is found in the <TC/UB>
screen on the MAIN OPERATIONpage.

To regenerate the time code of the last recorded clip
when more than one P2 card is inserted, press the
Thumbnail button to open the thumbnail screen.
2
Be sure a P2 card is inserted for recording the
clip displayed at the end of the screen, and
then switch the slot with the USER button
assigned the SLOT SEL function so that data
will be recorded on the P2 card.

During the next recording, the time code of the last
recorded clip on the card will be regenerated.
Notes

When a card with recorded data is changed, the time
code of the last recorded clip on the changed P2 card
will be regenerated.
z
This function is disabled during recording or free-run.
Even during battery replacement, the backup mechanism
functions, allowing the camera-recorder to operate
continuously.
If SYSTEM MODE is changed, a free-run time code may
shift. After turning on the power again, confirm the time code
and reset if necessary.
Note
When the POWER switch has been switched ON
#
OFF
#
ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run mode
is about ±2 frames.
