When [V.SYS] is set to [NTSC] and the frame rate is 30p or 60p, gaps in the actual time occur during extended periods of recording as there is a slight difference between the number of frames of the time code and the actual frame frequency of NTSC image signal per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make time code and actual time equal. The first 2 frame numbers (for 30p, or the first 4 frame numbers for 60p) are removed every minute except in every tenth minute. Time code without this correction is called non-drop frame. zAbout the user bit User bit is a function that can record information (8-digit hexadecimal numbers) such as date/time/scene number. This function is useful for editing movies created using two or more cameras. 30GB Settings Search Index

About time code
Time code is a useful function for advanced image editing, by recording hours/minutes/
seconds/frames on the image data.
When [V.SYS] is set to [NTSC] and the frame rate is 30p or 60p, gaps in the actual time
occur during extended periods of recording as there is a slight difference between the
number of frames of the time code and the actual frame frequency of NTSC image signal
per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make time code and actual time equal. The first
2 frame numbers (for 30p, or the first 4 frame numbers for 60p) are removed every minute
except in every tenth minute. Time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.
