Setting time values
The camcorder uses two types of time values: time code values and user bits.
The time value is displayed on the LCD screen, in the viewfinder, or on the display
window. The time code and user bits can be set only in DVCAM mode.
The user bits are convenient when using multiple cameras at the same event.
When you record the picture, time code data will be recorded automatically.
