Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback.

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.

To perform Random Assemble Editing ( pg. 73 – 77), time code is necessary. 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” below in the following cases;

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

1)Play back a tape or use Blank Search ( pg. 23) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode. ( pg. 22)

2)Set the Power Switch to “A” or “M” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start recording.

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. 49)
