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 (墌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;
●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 (墌pg.23) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then
engage the Still Playback mode. (墌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”. (墌pg.49)
