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 (
੬ pg. 60 –
64), time code is necessary. 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” 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.
Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
1) Play back a tape or use Blank Search ( ੬ pg. 23)
to find the spot at which you want to start
recording, then engage the Still Playback mode.
(
੬ pg. 22)
2) Set the Power Switch to “A” or “M” while
pressing down the Lock Button located on the
switch, then start recording.
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”. ( ੬ pg. 37)
