About user bits settings during timecode
synchronization
When the timecode is synchronized, only the time data is
synchronized with the external timecode value. Therefore,
the user bits can have their own settings for each
camcorder.
To release the timecode synchronization
First disconnect the external timecode, then set the F-
RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to R-RUN.
To change the power supply from the battery
pack to an external power supply during
timecode synchronization
To maintain a continuous power supply, connect the
external power supply to the DC IN connector before
removing the battery pack. You may lose timecode
synchronization if you remove the battery pack first.
Camera synchronization during timecode
synchronization
During timecode synchronization, the camera is genlocked
to the reference video signal input from the GENLOCK IN
connector.
Setting for Special Shooting Cases
Depending on the shooting conditions, set the camcorder
appropriately referring to the following table.
To correct skin detail
You can specify a color other than a skin tone to adjust the
color.

page of the PAINT menu.
For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 131.

When the setting is finished, set SKIN AREA IND to
OFF on the SKIN DETAIL page.
