TC Warnings
A TC warning is displayed firstly as a blinking “TC“ symbol in the camera display. If the beeper volume is set to 1 or higher, a warning beep will sound in time with the blinking of the “TC“ symbol when the camera is in Standby. The acoustic warning can be silenced by doing one of the following:
•Remedy the cause of the warning.
•Switch off timecode.
•Set the beeper volume to 0 (see under Switching the Beeper On and Off, Chapter 9.3).
•By briefly pressing the “SET“ button in Mode 1 of the display. This will suppress the acoustic warning for 15 minutes.
•Running the camera. The acoustic warning will not sound while the camera is running. After stopping the camera the warning will begin to sound again approximately 3 seconds after the camera enters Standby.
The camera can also display more detailed warnings in hexadecimal form. To see these, change the display to Mode 4 (Timecode time) using the “MODE“ button and then press the “SEL“ button.
The four digits in the upper line display hexadecimal values (0 - 9 & A - F). Their meaning can be looked up in the following tables. There is no warning if the upper line displays 00:00. An example of an error warning is 00:03, which indicates two warnings:
•error in external synchronization and
•TC is switched on but not set
In this case both errors can be remedied by external synchronization.
