Using Timecode
For Timecode operation, please make sure that
the magazine is equipped with a Timecode
exposure module K2.55034.0.
Turning on and off the TC Recording
• Using the “MODE“ key
a
photo
, switch to Mode 4
(Timecode time).
• Depress the “SET“ key
a
photo
for approx. 3 s until
the “TC“ symbol appears or disappears on the display.
When the camera is first turned on without a previously set
valid Timecode remaining in the buffer, the Timecode clock
starts running from time 00:00:00:00, with the User Bits set
to 00000000. This happens regardless of whether TC is
turned on or not. TC time can only be set by the master clock.
User Bits can be set either by the master clock or entered
manually with the camera display. If TC is turned on but not
set by external synchronization, a warning will be displayed.
If a speed is set on the camera which does not correspond
to TC, the TC generator retains the most recently set frame
rate. While Timecode is in use and the speed is changed
from one to another valid Timecode speed, the “TC“ symbol
on the display goes off for approx. 1 s and reappears once
the TC generator is ready.
