Making the time code continuous

When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN, recording a number of scenes on the tape normally produces continuous time codes. If, however, you take the cassette out at some point, the time code will no longer be continuous.

To make the time code continuous, follow the procedure below.

3 Watching the playback, find the point of the previous recording on the tape from which you wish to continue recording, and press the STOP button.

4 Press the RET button on the lens.

This reads the previous recording, and synchronizes the internal time code generator, thus allowing the new time code recorded to follow on consecutively. (When the Loop Rec function is on, this function does not operate.)

4-5-3 Saving the Real Time in the Time Code

Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK saves the real time in the time code.

When it is necessary to set the real time, use the VTR menu.

For more information about the VTR menu, see Section 4-10 “VTR Menu Display

in the Display Panel” (page 4-99).
