NOTES

•When the frame rate is 23.98P or 24.00P, the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23. When the frame rate is 25.00P, 50.00i or 50.00P, it runs from 0 to 24. For other frame rates, it runs from 0 to 29.

•In 4K and 2K modes or when using pre-recording mode in MXF mode, [Free Run] is set automatically and cannot be changed. When you are using interval recording, frame recording or slow & fast motion recording mode, you cannot select the [Free Run] running mode.

•When you mix drop frame and non-drop frame time codes, there might be a discontinuity in the time code at the point where the recording starts.

•As long as the built-in rechargeable lithium battery is charged and you selected the [Free Run] running mode, the time code continues to run even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this is less accurate than when the camera is on.

•If you set an assignable button to [Time Code] (A111), you can press the button to open the [¤TC/UB Setup] >[Time Code] submenu.
