Setting the User Bit Value

You can set the user bits as eight-digit hexadecimal values (base 16) to have the date, time, scene number, and other information inserted into the time code. When using both the time code and user bits, set up the user bits first. If you set the time code first, the internal time code generator will remain stopped while you set the user bits, which will set the time value off from the original setting.

Note

Setting the user bit value may be disallowed in some cases at ClipLink shooting. For details, see step 4 on page 69 in “ ClipLink Shooting” .
