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. 45 – 49), 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;

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.

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

1.Play back a tape or use Blank Search ( pg. 21) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode ( pg. 20).

2.Set the Power Switch to “ ” or “ ” 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. 37, 38).
