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.

[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.

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.40), the time code will be affected.
