Displaying Data Code
During VCR mode, the data code can be displayed or hidden while the camera is in play, slow, or still
mode.
Camera data may be displayed as “— — —” during fast forward, rewind, reverse playback, forward and
reverse ×2 playback.
Press the DATA CODE button on the wireless controller or the body of the camera.
Press it once to display, once more to hide it.
You can also choose which type of data code to display — either the date/time, camera data or both.
A data code, containing the date and time the recording was made and other camera data (shutter speed,
exposure and gain settings) is automatically recorded on a special data section of the tape.
