You can select between a drop frame (DF) or non-drop frame (NDF) time
code, depending on how you plan to use your recordings. When the
frame rate is set to 23.98P or 24.00P, the time code is set to non-drop

NOTES
•
The frames value of the time code runs from 0 to 23 (frame rate set to 23.98P or 24.00P) or from 0 to 29 (all
other frame rates).
•
However, when the video output from the HDMI OUT terminal is 59.94i/59.94P/60.00P, the frames value of the
time code output from the terminal will be 0 to 29, regardless of the camcorder’s frame rate setting.
•

Free Run] running mode.
Conversely, when you are using pre-recording mode, [
Free Run] is set automatically and cannot be

•
When you mix drop frame and non-drop frame time codes, there might be a discontinuity in the time code at
the point where the recording starts.
•
When you are using the [
Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as long as the
built-in rechargeable lithium battery is charged, even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this
is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
