• You can start recording at frame 0 or frame 5 of the timecode. Therefore, when setting
the timecode or recording in backspace editing mode, the value of the least significant
digit is limited to 0 or 5.
• There will be noise on the recorded image if you change the operating mode for the
internal timecode generator using the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch on the side control
panel while recording.
• The video and audio signal and timecode output via i.LINK may not be consecutive
when recording starts.
Notes on 2-3 pulldown
• When the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch on the side control panel is set to CLOCK,
this unit operates in DF mode. The synchronization of the timecode and the pulled-
down picture is disabled.
• When drop-frame timecode is input via the TC IN connector, this unit operates in DF
mode and synchronization of the pulled-down picture and the timecode is disabled.
This setting will continue in effect until the timecode setting (F-RUN/R-RUN or DF/NDF)
is changed.
