The time code is a time reference
recorded automatically to synchronize
the video and audio during movie
shooting. It is recorded at all times in the
following units: hours, minutes, seconds,
and frames. It is mainly used during
movie editing.
Set the time code with [z5: Time code].
[Rec run]
: The time code counts up only while you are shooting
a movie.

not.
You can set the time code’s start time.
[Manual input setting] : You can freely set the hour, minute, second,
and frame.
[Reset]
: The time set with [Manual input setting] and
[Set to camera time] is reset to 00:00:00:00.

the camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be
set to 00.

Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy
between the actual time and time code.
If [Free run] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving
time (p.40), the time code will be affected.
