Setting the Time Data Time data, such as the timecodes, user bits, and the clock time, are recorded with pictures. Running Modes of the Timecode For the timecode, three running modes and Clock mode can be selected. Rec Run mode The timecode advances during recording only. The continuity of the timecode is maintained between clips in the sequence of recording as long as the SxS memory card is not changed. If you remove the memory card and record on another card, the timecode will not continue when you return the first card to the slot again. Free Run mode The timecode keeps advancing regardless of recording. Regen mode The timecode advances during recording only. When you insert another memory card, the camcorder starts next recording so that the timecode continues to the last recorded timecode on the card. Clock mode The current clock time is recorded for the timecode. Notes • In Interval Recording, Frame Recording, Slow & Quick Motion Recording, the timecode advances in Rec Run mode regardless of the "Run" setting if you set "Mode" of "Timecode" to "Preset" with the TC/UB SET menu. If you set it to "Clock," the timecode advances in Regen mode. • When the Picture Cache function is active (P.Cache Rec Setting: On), the timecode always advances in Free Run mode. When the Picture Cache Rec function is deactivated, the running mode selected with the TC/UB SET menu is restored. Setting the Timecode Specify the timecode to be recorded with "Timecode" and "TC Format" of the TC/UB SET menu. For details on menu operations, see "Basic Menu Operations" on page 100.

Resetting the timecode You can reset the timecode to be recorded in running modes to "00:00:00:00." 1 Select "Reset" of "Timecode." 2 Select "Execute." Using the actual time as the timecode Set "Mode" of "Time Code" to "Clock." The time of the built-in clock is recorded as the timecode. Switching between DF and NDF of the timecode Using "TC Format" of the TC/UB SET menu, DF (drop-frame mode) and NDF (non-drop frame mode) of the timecode can be switched. Note, however, that the mode is fixed either to DF or NDF regardless of the TC Format setting, depending on the current frame-rate setting. Setting the Time Data 51 Recording
