Using the Time Code
The time code shows the hour, minute and second of recording, and the frame number (1 frame = approx. 1/30 sec.). This is automati- cally recorded along with the subject when you are recording on the tape. You can display the time code on the screen as an accurate counter in both VCR and CAMERA modes.
