Note This function is effective only when the 59.94i and 29.97PsF frame frequency is selected. To make the time code consecutive When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN, recording a number of scenes on the tape normally produces consecutive time code. However, once you remove the tape and record on another tape, the time code will no longer be contiguous when you use the original tape again for recording. In this case, to make the time code consecutive, proceed as follows: 1 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN. 2 Use the PLAY button to play back. 3 Watching the playback, find the point of the previous recording on the tape from which you wish to continue recording, then push the STOP button. 4 Press the RET button on the lens. This reads the previous recording and synchronizes the internal time code generator, as a result allowing the new time code recorded to continue consecutively. 4-5-2 Saving the Actual Time in the Time Code Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK saves the actual time in the time code. When it is necessary to set the actual time, use the TIME/ DATE page of the DIAGNOSIS menu. For details, see "5-3-6 Setting the Date/Time of the Internal Clock" on page 98. 72 Setting the Time Data

Setting the Time Data

4-5-1

Setting the Time Code

The time code setting range is from 00 : 00 : 00 : 00 to 23

: 59 : 59 : 29 (hours : minutes : seconds : frames).

Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.

Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to SET.

The first (leftmost) digit of time code flashes.

Using the SHIFT and ADVANCE buttons, set the time

code.

SHIFT:

Selects a digit to set. Each time you press the

button, the flashing digit moves one column to the

right.

Pressing this button while holding down the HOLD

button moves the flashing digit one column to the

left.

ADVANCE:

Increments the value of the flashing

digit.

Pressing this button while holding down the HOLD

button decrements the flashing digit.

To reset the time code value to 00:00:00:00

Press the RESET button.

Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN or R-

RUN.

F-RUN:

Free run. The time code generator keeps

running.

R-RUN:

Recording run. The time code generator runs

only while recording.

To set drop frame mode/non-drop frame mode

You can select the drop frame (DF) mode or non-drop

frame (NDF) mode on the FUNCTION 1 page

(page 141)

of the OPERATION menu or on the TIMECODE page

(page 156)

of the MAINTENANCE menu.

This function is effective only when the 59.94i and

29.97PsF frame frequency is selected.

To make the time code consecutive

When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN,

recording a number of scenes on the tape normally

produces consecutive time code. However, once you

remove the tape and record on another tape, the time code

will no longer be contiguous when you use the original

tape again for recording. In this case, to make the time code

consecutive, proceed as follows:

Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN.

Use the PLAY button to play back.

Watching the playback, find the point of the previous

recording on the tape from which you wish to continue

recording, then push the STOP button.

Press the RET button on the lens.

This reads the previous recording and synchronizes the

internal time code generator, as a result allowing the

new time code recorded to continue consecutively.

4-5-2

Saving the Actual Time in the

Time Code

Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK

saves the actual time in the time code.

When it is necessary to set the actual time, use the TIME/

DATE page of the DIAGNOSIS menu.

For details, see “5-3-6 Setting the Date/Time of the

Internal Clock” on page 98.
