Recording
1)The frame digits in “Setting” are limited to 00, 04, 08,
12, 16, and 20.
The frame at the beginning of recording is limited to
00, 04, 08, 12, 16, and 20.
The frame digits of the timecode added to the SDI
OUT connector output are changed to values in the
range of 00 to 29.
2)Even in Clock mode, the timecode may be gradually
shifted, because it is counted by NDF.
When adding the timecode to the output from the
COMPONENT OUT connector or the video output
from the A/V OUT connector, there may be a field that
has dual timecodes because of the 2-3 pull-down
process.
3)With DF, the frame digits can be set as desired in the
range of 00 to 29.
With NDF, the frame at the beginning of recording is
limited to 00, 05, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
You can add a hexadecimal number of 8 digits for
pictures as the user bits.
The user bits can also be set to the current date.
Use “Users Bit” of the TC/UB SET menu.
Setting eight digits as desired
1 Set “Mode” of “Users Bit” to “Fix.”
2 Specify the values on the Setting line
and select “SET.”
You can set hexadecimal digits A to F with
the corresponding alphabetics.
Recording the current date as the user
bits
Set “Mode” of “Users Bit” to “Date.”
The current date is displayed on the Setting line.
In Camera mode, pressing the DISPLAY/BATT
INFO button displays the time data on the screen.
The indication is switched among the timecode,
user bits, and recording duration each time you
press the TC/U-BIT/DURATION button.
