Controls and Parts of Functions and Locations 2 Chapter

dDISPLAY switch

This cycles the data displayed in the counter display through the sequence TC, U-BIT, and COUNTER.

TC: The playback time code read by the internal time code reader, or the time code generated by the internal time code generator.

U-BIT:The user bits inserted in the playback time code, or user bits generated by the internal time code generator

COUNTER: The elapsed recording/playback time (hours, minutes, seconds, frames).

For details, see “Time code display” on page 45.

eRESET button

Pressing this button resets the time data displayed on the counter display section to “00:00:00:00” or the user bit data to “00000000.”

fHOLD (display hold) button

Pressing this button instantly freezes the time data displayed in the counter display section. (The time code generator continues running.) Pressing this button again releases the hold. You can use this button, for example, to determine the exact time of a particular shot.

When the HOLD button is activated, the time data is displayed in the following format:

For details of the counter display, see 2-9 “Warnings and Indications on the LCDs” on page 43.

gSEL/SET (select/set) dial

To set a timecode, user bit value, or real time, press this dial so that the digit you want to change flashes.

Turning the dial upward increases the value of the flashing digit, and turning it downward decreases the value.

hPRESET/REGEN (regeneration)/CLOCK switch This switch selects whether to set a new time code or to follow the already recorded time code.

PRESET: Records a time code with a preset initial value.

REGEN: Records a time code to be continuous with the existing time code recorded on the disc. Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch, the camcorder operates in R-RUN mode.

CLOCK: Records a time code synchronized to the internal clock. Regardless of the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch setting, the camcorder always operates in F- RUN mode.

iF-RUN/SET/R-RUN (free run/set/recording run) switch

This switch selects the operating mode for the internal time code generator.

F-RUN:The time code value keeps advancing, regardless of the operating state of the VDR. Use this setting when aligning the time code with real time or for synchronizing the time code with an external time code.

SET: Set the switch to this position to set the time code or user bits.
