Journalistic Shooting

In some situations,
different shooting
angles may provide
more dramatic results.
Hold the camcorder in
the desired position
and tilt the LCD
monitor in the most
convenient direction. It
can rotate 270° (90°
downward, 180°
upward).

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.

* Frames are not displayed during recording.

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.
If during recording a blank portion is left 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 this, perform Recording From The
Middle Of A Tape (

੬ pg. 19) in the following

cases:

● When shooting again after playing back a

recorded tape.

● 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 shooting a scene then

opening/closing the cassette holder cover.

NOTES:

● The time code cannot be reset.

● During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time

code indication does not move smoothly.

● The time code is displayed only when “TIME

CODE” is set to “ON”. (
