It is adjusted to multiples of four for 24PN and to even numbers for 720/30PN. It is adjusted so that the seconds plus the frames are an even number for 720/25PN. The time code cannot be set during recording. • If you leave the time code setting screen without pressing the SET button on the Operation lever, the set value is not retained. Time code function during battery replacement Even during battery replacement the backup mechanism keeps the time code generator functioning. When the POWER/MODE switch has been switched ON → OFF → ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run mode is about ±2 frames. VFR (variable frame rate) time code • In 24PN mode, recording is performed at 24-frame time code, and output is performed at 30-frame time code to match the 2:3 pull-down scheme used for video output. • At a frame rate (capture frame rate) of 24P in 24PN mode, the speed of recording and the output time code matches actual time, but not at any speed other than 24P. (Example: at 60P recording progresses at 60/24 speed) • Then the camera-recorder operates in Rec Run mode and the time code output at start of recording matches the recording time code. • This is also the same when shooting in modes other than 30P in 30PN, and 25P in 25PN. 66

•
When 24P or 24PA is used, the time
code is adjusted every 5 frames. It is
adjusted to multiples of four for 24PN
and to even numbers for 720/30PN. It
is adjusted so that the seconds plus

If you leave the time code setting

Time code function during battery replacement
Even during battery replacement the backup
mechanism keeps the time code generator
functioning.
When the POWER/MODE switch has been
switched ON → OFF → ON, the backup
accuracy of the time code in free run mode is
about ±2 frames.
VFR (variable frame rate) time code
• In 24PN mode, recording is performed at
24-frame time code, and output is performed at
30-frame time code to match the 2:3 pull-down
scheme used for video output.
• At a frame rate (capture frame rate) of 24P in
24PN mode, the speed of recording and the
output time code matches actual time, but not
at any speed other than 24P. (Example: at 60P
recording progresses at 60/24 speed)
• Then the camera-recorder operates in REC
RUN mode and the time code output at start of
recording matches the recording time code.
• This is also the same when shooting in modes
other than 30P in 30PN, and 25P in 25PN.
