Free Run], the time code will start running from the time code entered 75 Selecting Drop Frame or Non-Drop Frame You can select between a drop frame (DF) or non-drop frame (NDF) time code, depending on how you plan to use your recordings. However, when the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the time code is set to non-drop frame (NDF) and cannot be changed. 1 Select [DF/NDF]. > [3 # Recording Setup] > [DF/NDF] 2 Select [ DF] or [ NDF] and then select [X]. • The time code display will differ depending on the setting. When you select [ DF], the time code will appear as [00:00:00.00]; when you select [ NDF], it will appear as [00:00:00:00]. NOTES • When the frame rate is set to 23.98P, the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23. For other settings, it runs from 0 to 29. • When slow & fast motion recording is activated, you cannot select the [ Free Run] running mode. Conversely, when pre-recording is activated, [ Free Run] is set automatically and cannot be changed. • 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 slow & fast motion recording is activated, the time code signal cannot be output from the SDI OUT terminal (u only) or HDMI OUT terminal. • When you are using the [ Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as long as the built-in backup battery has some charge left, even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, this is less accurate than when the camcorder is on.
