Recording in 24P (23.98P) ModeRecording frame sequence and clip length

See the following figure for the frame sequence.

In 24P (23.98P) mode, recording start and stop timing is adjusted so that a recorded sequence always begins with an “A-frame” and ends with a “D-frame”. As a result, the number of frames in a clip is always a multiple of 4.

Recording timecode

When you preset timecode manually, select a multiple of 4 as the number of frames in the timecode, and adjust so that the preset timing begins with an “A-frame”.

The unit will then adjust so that the timecode at the start of recorded clips will have a number of frames that is a multiple of 4.

Notes

•The above adjustments are not carried out when you preset timecode remotely.

•No adjustments are made when you record external timecode. Therefore the number of frames in the
