How to select the count up format for the time code (TC Run)
Rec Run:
Sets the stepping mode for the time code to advance only while recording. The time code is
recorded sequentially from the last time code of the previous recording.
Free Run:
Sets the stepping mode for the time code to advance anytime, regardless of the camera
operation.
The time code may not be recorded sequentially in the following situations even when the
time code advances in [Rec Run] mode.
When the recording format is changed.
When the recording medium is removed.
How to select how the time code is recorded (TC Make)
Preset:
Records the newly set time code on the recording medium.
Regenerate:
Reads the last time code for the previous recording from the recording medium and records the
new time code consecutively from the last time code. The time code is read from the memory
card in the slot 1 when [Recording Mode] is set to [Simult. (
)] or [Simult. ( / )]. The
time code is read from the memory card to which the movies will be recorded when [Recording
Mode] is set to [Standard], [Simult. (
)], [Sort(JPEG/RAW)] or [Sort( / )]. The time
code advances in [Rec Run] mode regardless of the [TC Run] setting.

Only when [NTSC/PAL Selector] is set to NTSC. *1
The time code is based on 30 frames per second. However, a gap between the actual time and the time code will
occur during extended periods of recording as the frame frequency of the NTSC image signal is approximately
29.97 frames per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make the time code and actual time equal. In drop
frame, the first 2 frame numbers are removed every minute except for every tenth minute. The time code without
this correction is called non-drop frame. *2
