Recording & Playback
ENGLISH
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.
1, 3, & 4, time code begins counting from
“00:00:00” (minute:second:frame).
2, time code continues from the last time
code number.
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”.
To prevent this, perform “Recording from the
middle of a tape”
(੬ 15) 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 again after shooting a scene
then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
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 20).
