Cautions in switching the power source from battery to external power supply

Connect the DC IN socket with the external power supply before removing the battery, in order to keep the time code generator energized. If the battery is removed first, there is no guarantee that the time code will stay externally locked.

External synchronisation of the camera when the time code is externally locked

When the time code is externally locked, the reference video signals input through the GENLOCK IN connector gen-lock the camera.

NOTE

•To lock other devices externally to the AG-3DP1, as the master device, make sure that the other devices are in the same mode as the AG-3DP1. Note that if some of the connected devices use interlaced scanning while other devices use progressive scanning, there may be breaks in the video and time code.

•To externally lock at 24PN (Native Recording), be sure to input a non-dropframe time code. External lock using a drop frame time code is not possible.

Counter Setting and Display

Pressing the COUNTER button to view the counter displays the counter value on the time code indicator on the

LCD monitor and in the viewfinder. The counter value is indicated in “Hour : Minute : Second” format. The counter value is not displayed during playback.

The menu option REC COUNTER in the DISPLAY SETUP screen can be set to display two types of counters. TOTAL: provides a continuous count until reset by

pressing the COUNTER RESET button. The counter value is retained when P2 cards are replaced and when the power is turned off.

CLIP: The counter is reset to 0 at the start of each recording and allows you to keep track of clip recording time while shooting the current clip.

NOTE

•Pressing the RESET button when the counter value is displayed resets the counter to 0.

•The counter value indicates values in the range between 0:00:00 and 9:59:59 in 1-second steps.
