Setting the Time Code

Selecting the Run Options

You can select from record run (REC-RUN), record run preset (REC-RUN PS.) and free-run (FREE-RUN) time code. With record run, the time code runs only when you are recording. With free run, the time code runs regardless of the operation of the camcorder. With record run preset and free-run, you can select the starting point.

Normally select record-run. Select free-run time code when you wish to record with multiple camcorders set to the same time code.
