NOTES
•The Genlock signal synchronization stabilizes after approximately 10 seconds. When the camcorder locks on an external Genlock signal, Uwill appear on the upper right of the screen.
•If the external Genlock signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the external time code that is recorded may be incorrect.
•While a time code signal is being received, the external time code’s
•When an external time code signal is received, the camcorder’s own time code will be synchronized to it and the synchronization will be maintained even if you disconnect the cable from the TIME CODE terminal. However, performing any of the following actions while the cable is not connected will cause the synchronization to be disrupted; the correct time code will be restored once you reconnect the cable.
-Turning the camcorder off/on
-Changing the operating mode to 
mode
-Changing the video configuration
-Changing the frame rate
•If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code set in the [¤TC/UB Setup] >[Time Code] submenu will be recorded instead.
