Setting Time ValuesSetting the Time Code Value

This section describes the steps for setting time code recording methods for particular shooting conditions and setting initial values.

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.

For details of setting user bits, see “Setting the User Bit Value” on previous page.

Note

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