NOTE: Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (

pg. 84 – 89), time code is necessary. If during recording a blank

portion is recorded partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the
time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time
codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent leaving a blank portion on a tape,
perform the procedure in “Recording From The Middle of A Tape” (see below) in the following cases;
•After playing back the recorded tape, when you

shoot again.

•When power shuts off during shooting.
•When a tape is removed and re-inserted during

shooting.

•When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
•When shooting on a blank portion located

partway through the tape.

•When shooting again after already shooting a

scene and opening/closing the cassette cover.

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

1. Play back a tape to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback

mode (

2. Set the Operation Switch to “

” or “

”. Then, set the Power Switch to “

” or “5S” while

pressing down the Lock Button and start recording.

NOTES:

● The Time Code cannot be reset.
