18 EN RECORDING (cont.) Time Code During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback. If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from "00:00:00" (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from "00:00:00". This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform "Recording From The Middle of A Tape" below in the following cases; • When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape. • When power shuts off during shooting. • When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting. • When shooting using a partially recorded tape. • When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape. • When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.

Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from
“
00:00:00
”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When
recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from
“
00:00:00
”
. This means the camcorder
may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform
“

shooting.
