Setting time values The camcorder uses two types of time values: time code values and user bits. The time value is displayed on the LCD screen, in the viewfinder, or on the display window. The user bits are convenient when using multiple cameras at the same event. When you record the picture, time code data will be recorded automatically. Setting the time code value This section describes the steps for setting time code recording methods for particular shooting conditions and setting initial values. (1) Set the MEMORY/CAMERA/VTR selector to VTR or CAMERA. (2) Push the CUSTOM PRESET/MENU switch in the MENU direction and release it to display the menu. (3) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select TC, then press the dial. (4) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select TC MAKE, then press the dial. (5) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select PRESET, then press the dial. (6) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select TC PRESET, then press the dial. (7) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select PRESET, then press the dial. (8) Set up the first two digits. Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select the number, then press the dial.
