When the camera is first turned on without a previously set valid Timecode remaining in the buffer, the Timecode clock starts running from time 00:00:00:00, with the User Bits set to 00000000. This happens regardless of whether TC is turned on or not. TC time can only be set by the master clock. User Bits can be set either by the master clock or entered manually with the camera display. If TC is turned on but not set by external synchronization, a warning will be displayed.
If a speed is set on the camera which does not correspond to TC, the TC generator retains the most recently set frame rate. While Timecode is in use and the speed is changed from one to another valid Timecode speed, the “TC“ symbol on the display goes off for approx. 1 s and reappears once the TC generator is ready.
