3Setting the Time Code

The time code is a time reference recorded automatically to synchronize the video and audio during movie shooting. It is recorded at all times in the following units: hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. It is mainly used during movie editing.

Set the time code with [z5: Time code]. In the <A> mode, this function is displayed in [z3].

Count Up

[Rec run]

:

The time code counts up only while you are shooting a movie.

[Free run]

:

The time code counts up whether you are shooting or not.

Start Time Setting

You can set the time code’s start time.

[Manual input setting]: You can freely set the hour, minute, second,

 

and frames.

[Reset]

: The time set with [Manual input setting] and

 

[Set to camera time] is reset to 00:00:00:00.

[Set to camera time]

: Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match the

 

camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be set to 00.

Movie Recording Count

You can select what to display on the movie-shooting screen.

[Rec time] : Indicates the elapsed time from the start of the movie shooting.

[Time code] : Indicates the time code during movie shooting.

Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy between the actual time and time code.

If [Free run] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving time (p.36), the time code will be affected.
