When TC is set at a Real Time frame rate (24 fps, 25 fps

&30 fps) and the camera speed is changed to a Non Real Time Frame rate (23.976 fps & 29.97 fps), a warning will be indicated after the camera has stopped. The same warning comes up if you set a TC at Non Real Time frame rate and switch to Real Time frame rate afterwards. Setting the TC at the used frame rate (Non Real Time or Real Time) has to be done to clear this error.

While TC recording is switched on and the camera is running, there is a delay of approx. 24 frames before the camera stops after the “RUN” button is pressed to stop the camera.

Entering User Bits with the Camera Display

Using the “MODE“ key Aphoto switch to Mode 5 (Timecode User Bits).

Use the “SEL“ key Aphoto to select the digit you wish to change. The selected digit will flash.

Use the “SET“ key Aphoto to change the value of the selected digit.

Note:

User Bit values are hexadecimal so only values

 

from 0 - 9 and A - F are available.

Indicating Timecode or User Bits

Using the “MODE“ key switch to Mode 4 (Timecode time) or Mode 5 (Timecode User Bits).

The Timecode time indicator will indicate “hours:minutes“ in the upper line and “seconds:frame rate“ in the lower line. In the case of frame rate, only positions before the comma will be shown:

2323,976 fps

2424,000 fps

2525,000 fps

2929,970 fps

3030,000 fps

At speeds of 29,970 fps and 23,976 fps the frame rate in the “Nondrop-Frame“ mode count in accordance with SMPTE RP136-1990, 5.2.1, to correspond to NTSC video with 59,940 Hz. The “Nondrop-Frame“ mode results in a time difference to real time of exactly 0,1%.
