Setting
1.
Set the TC/UB item on the LCD/VF (2/2) menu screen to
ON.
● Time codes or user’s bit data are displayed on the Status
screen.
2.
Whether time codes or user’s bit data should be displayed
is selected with the COUNTER switch inside the cover on
the side.
TC : Time codes are displayed.
The symbol between the seconds and the frame
differs with the framing mode. (Colon or dot)

10-2 Presetting and Recording of Time Code
To preset the Time Code, make the following settings.
■ TC GENE. switch
Set to PRESET REC or PRESET FREE.
PRST REC : The data preset in the time code generator
runs only during recording.
Use this setting if it is necessary to record
continual time codes across different scenes.
* However, approximately ±1-frame variations
may occur in scene accuracy.
PRST FREE : The time code starts to run from the time it is
preset in the time code generator.
■ TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen
Use the DROP/NON DROP item to select the framing mode
for the time code generator.
DROP : The time code generator’s running method is
set to the drop frame mode.
Use this setting when placing emphasis on
the recording time.
NON DROP : The time code generator’s running method is
set to the non drop frame mode.
Use this setting when placing emphasis on
the number of frames.

Drop frame/Non-drop frame mode
In the NTSC system, the actual number of frames per 1 second is approximately 29.97 frames, but per time code 30 frames
are processed. To compensate for this difference, the mode called “drop mode” drops frame 00 and 01 for every minute not
divisible by 10.
The “non-drop frame mode” is when no frames are dropped and the actual time shift is neglected.
The time codes or user’s bit data from the internal time code generator can be recorded at the time of recording scenes.
