Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording - Setting the time data Time code at the variable frame rate (VFR) ffIn the 24PN mode, recording is performed at 24 frames, and output is performed at 30 frames matched to 2:3 pull-down video. ffWhen [FRAME RATE] (shooting frame rate) is set to 24P, the advance speed of the time code for recording and output matches real time and does not match real time in modes other than 24P. (Example: In the 60P mode, the advance speed for recording becomes 60/24x.) ffIn this instance, operation is fixed to recording run, and the time code value to output at the start of recording is matched to the recording time code. ffThe same applies at other than 30P shooting in the 30PN mode. rr 24PN recording for 60P shooting 5HFRUGLQJVWDUW 2XWSXWYLGHR      5HFRUGLQJVWRS 5HFRUGLQJVWDUW   2XWSXW7 5HFRUGHGYLGHR  6NLSSHG    5HFRUGLQJ7&    FRQYHUVLRQ rr 30PN recording for 15P shooting 5HFRUGLQJVWDUW 2XWSXWYLGHR  2XWSXW7&  5HFRUGHGYLGHR   5HFRUGLQJ7&   5HFRUGLQJVWRS   6NLSSHG     5HFRUGLQJVWDUW Externally locking the time code The internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator.

Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording — Setting the time data
Time code at the variable frame rate (VFR)
f
In the 24PN mode, recording is performed at 24 frames, and output is performed at 30 frames matched to 2:3 pull-down video.
f
When [FRAME RATE] (shooting frame rate) is set to 24P, the advance speed of the time code for recording and output matches real time and does
not match real time in modes other than 24P. (Example: In the 60P mode, the advance speed for recording becomes 60/24x.)
f
In this instance, operation is fixed to recording run, and the time code value to output at the start of recording is matched to the recording time code.
f
The same applies at other than 30P shooting in the 30PN mode.

Externally locking the time code
The internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external device can be
locked to the internal time code generator of the camera.
Example of connections for external locking
As shown in the figure, connect both the reference video signal and the reference time code.
r

Reference time code
<GENLOCK IN>
<TC IN/OUT>
Reference video signal
@
NOTE
t
As a reference video signal, a composite video signal can also be
input in addition to an HD Y reference signal.
t
When the system mode is set to 480i, 576i (SD) and 720P, input
the composite video signal.
t
If the system mode is 720P, the video signal generator lock is
activated when the HD-Y signal is input, however , the time code
may shift by one field.
t
When the generator lock input reference signal is disrupted,
recording cannot be performed normally, and [TEMPORARY
PAUSE IRREGULAR FRM SIG] flashes red on the viewfinder
screen and the clip is divided. The continuity of the time code is not
guaranteed. Recording resumes when the signal returns to normal.
However, recording does not resume in interval recording, one-
shot recording, and loop recording.
External lock operation procedure
To externally lock the time code, follow the steps below.
1
Set the [TC IN/OUT SEL] item on the setting menu [IN/OUT
SEL] screen to [TC IN].
For details, refer to “Setting menu basic operations” (page 118).
2
Set the counter display to [TC] by the <COUNTER> button.
3
Set the SmartUI screen to the [SET01:TC/UB] screen by the
<SETUP> button.
4
Set the [TC_MD] item to [F-RUN].
5
Press the <HOME> button to display the [HOME] screen of
SmartUI.
A reference time code and reference video signal that are in a phase
relationship (that conforms to time code specifications) are supplied to
the <TC IN/OUT> and <GENLOCK IN> terminals.
f
Now the built-in time code generator is locked with the reference
time code.
