one digit to the right.

 

“+” button:

 

This increments by 1 the numerical value of the

 

flashing digit.

Select F-RUN for running the time code in the free- run mode or select R-RUN for running it in the rec- run mode.

<Note>

When the frame rate is set to 24 frames/sec. (23.98 Hz), this unit will perform the processing in the non- drop frame mode in order to maintain the continuity of

the frames even when the time code has been set to the drop frame mode. Furthermore, when the frame

rate has been set to 24 frames/sec. (23.98 Hz), it will not be possible to set the time code while recording is

in progress since the images will be disturbed if the advancing of the time code is discontinuous.
