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 [Z2: 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 frames. |
[Reset] | : The time will be reset to the time set with |
| [Manual input setting] and [Set to camera |
| time]. It will be “00:00:00.” or “00:00:00:” |
| (p.272). |
[Set to camera time] | : Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match |
| the camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be |
| set to 00. |
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.37), the time code will be affected.
The time code is not recorded for video snapshots.
Regardless of the [Movie rec count] setting, the time code will always be recorded to the movie file.
