3Setting the Time Code

Drop Frame

If the frame rate setting is 6(29.97 fps) or 8(59.94 fps), the time code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the actual time and time code. This discrepancy can be corrected automatically. This correction function is called drop frame.

[Enable]

: The discrepancy is corrected automatically by skipping

 

time code numbers (DF: Drop frame).

[Disable]

: The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).

The time code will be displayed as follows:

[Enable] (DF) : 00:00:00. (00:00:00.00 during playback)

[Disable] (NDF) : 00:00:00: (00:00:00:00 during playback)

If the frame rate is 4(23.98 fps), 5(25.00 fps), or 7(50.00 fps), there will be no drop frames. (If 4is set or if [53: Video system] is set to [PAL], the drop frame option will not appear.)
