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 ( pg. 58 – 61), 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” ( pg. 19) 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
●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.
