TAPE RECORDING
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape.
This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code
begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame).
If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded
scene, the time code continues from the last time code
number.
If during recording a blank portion is left partway
through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When
recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up
again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing in a
previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform
“RECORDING FROM THE MIDDLE OF A TAPE” in the
following cases;
• When shooting again after playing back a recorded
tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located partway
through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene then
opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
