Setting time code

Set the <DISPLAY> switch to <TC>.

Set the <TCG> switch to <SET>.

Set to the [RECORDING] menu → [TC/UB] → [DF/NDF].

Set [DF] to advance the time code in the drop frame mode, and set [NDF] to advance it in the non-drop frame mode. However, note that the time code runs by [NDF] at all times in the 23.98p mode.

Set the time code by the cursor operation buttons.

Screen display

- : The digit to be set (flashing) moves to the left.
- : The value of the digit to set (flashing) is incremented by one.

Switch by the <TCG> switch.

To advance the time code by free run, switch to <F-RUN>, and to advance by recording run, switch to <R-RUN>.

Setting range of time code

The range of the time code that can be set differs depending on the recording frame frequency of [REC FORMAT].

[FREQUENCY]	Recording frame frequency of [REC FORMAT]	Range of the time code that can be set
[59.94Hz]	59.94p, 29.97p, 59.94i	00:00:00:00 - 23:59:59:29
[59.94Hz]	23.98p	00:00:00:00 - 23:59:59:23
[50.00Hz]	50.00p, 25.00p, 50.00i	00:00:00:00 - 23:59:59:24

Time code function during battery replacement

The operation of the time code generator will continue by the backup mechanism functioning even when replacing the battery.

The time code of the free run may shift when any item in the [SYSTEM] menu → [FREQUENCY]/[FILE FORMAT]/[REC FORMAT] is changed. Set the power to < > (ON) again, confirm the time code, and set it again if necessary.
