When TC is set at a Real Time frame rate (24 fps, 25 fps

& 30 fps) and the camera speed is changed to a Non

Real Time Frame rate (23.976 fps & 29.97 fps), a

warning will be indicated after the camera has stopped.

The same warning comes up if you set a TC at Non Real

Time frame rate and switch to Real Time frame rate

afterwards. Setting the TC at the used frame rate (Non

Real Time or Real Time) has to be done to clear this error.

While TC recording is switched on and the camera is

running, there is a delay of approx. 24 frames before the

camera stops after the “RUN” button is pressed to stop

the camera.

the “Nondrop-Frame“ mode count in accordance with

SMPTE RP136-1990, 5.2.1, to correspond to NTSC video
