the frame frequency mode is carried out with the

 

 

 

[MAINTENANCE]/[F9]/(OTHERS CHECK/SYSTEM)

 

 

 

buttons.

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

• This setting is only active when the frame frequency of the

 

 

 

unit is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.

 

 

 

• When the [F7](TCG MODE) key is set to regene, the time

 

 

 

code generator is synchronized to the playback time code,

 

 

 

and therefore this setting is disabled.
