If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene,

the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” ( pg. 22) in the following cases;

●When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.

●When power shuts off during shooting.

●When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.

●When shooting using a partially recorded tape.

●When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape.

●When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.

NOTES:

●The time code cannot be reset.

●During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.

●The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 34)
