– 78 –Chapter 9 Other Useful Functions — Setting the time dataRetention of user bits in memoryUser bit settings are automatically recorded and are retained even if the power is turned off.Frame rate informationThe relationship between frame rates, image pull-down, and time codes/user bits is as follows.60i60060P60830P30824P24824PN24C50i50250P50A25P25AP 9P 1P DP BVerification information on the right-hand six digitsFixed valuesSequence No.24P: 0-4Other than above: F-fixedMedia management informationUpdated frame flags and valid frame flagsREC markCamera image modeExample)(During shooting)(VFR 30PN or over 60P)(VFR over 60P)(VFR24PN during shooting)(VFR25PN or over 50P)Setting the time code1 Press the button to display the TC screen.2 From the time code display, select [DF] or [NDF] in [DF/NDF].Set [DF] to advance the time code in the drop frame mode, and set [NDF] to advance it in the non-drop frame mode. Note, however, that the timecode always runs in [NDF] in the 24p (23.98P) mode.3 Select [SET].The [TC SET] screen is displayed.4 Set the time code using the jog dial button.5 Press the jog dial button to confirm the time code setting value.Settable time code range59.94P, 29.97P 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:2923.98P 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:2350P, 25P 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:24@@ NOTEt If you exit the time code setting screen without pressing the jog dial button, the set values will be disabled.Time code function during battery replacementEven during battery replacement, the backup mechanism functions, allowing the time code generator to continue operating.When each item of the system mode has been changed, the time code of free run may shift. Turn on the power again, check the time code, and reset it,if necessary.Time codes in variable frame ratef In 24PN, recording is 24 frames, output is 30 frames, which matches 2:3 pull-down images.f The advance rate of the recording and output time code matches real time only when the image frame rate is 24P. When 60P, recording advance rateis 60/24 times. In this case, the camera switches to [REC RUN] fixed operation and the time code value that is output when recording starts matchesthe recording time code.f It is the same when shooting in modes other than 30P when in 30PN and shooting in modes other than 25P when in 25PN.Externally locking the time codeThe internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator.Example of connections for external lockingAs shown in the figure, connect both the reference video signal and the reference time code.
