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].

 

 

 

 

Count Up

 

[Rec run]

: The time code counts up only while you are shooting

 

a movie. The time code will be continuous across

 

sequential movie files recorded to the same card.

[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 frame.

[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.

If [Free run] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving time (zp.40), the time code will be affected.

“Regenerate” function is not available, that reads the last time code recorded in the old card and resumes the count in the new card when you replace or switch the card.
