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. 61), time code is necessary. If during recording a blank portion is recorded 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 leaving a blank portion on a tape, perform the procedure in “Recording From The Middle of A Tape” (pg. 20) in the following cases;

•After playing back the recorded tape, when you shoot again.

•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 already shooting a scene and opening/closing the cassette cover.
