When you select [DF], the time code will appearas [00:00:00.00]; when you select [NDF], it will appear as [00:00:00:00].NOTES• The frames value of the time code runs from 0 to 23 (frame rate set in [3 Recording Setup] > [1] > [4KRecording] or [HD Recording] is 23.98P) or from 0 to 29 (all other frame rates).• However, when the video output from the HDMI OUT terminal is 59.94i/59.94P, even when the frame rate setin [3 Recording Setup] > [1] > [4K Recording] or [HD Recording] is 23.98P, the frames value of the timecode output from the terminal will be 0 to 29.• When you are using slow & fast motion recording mode, you cannot select the [ Free Run] running mode.Conversely, when you are using pre-recording mode, [ Free Run] is set automatically and cannot bechanged.• When you mix drop frame and non-drop frame time codes, there might be a discontinuity in the time code atthe point where the recording starts.• When you are using the [ Free Run] running mode, the time code will continue running as long as thebuilt-in rechargeable lithium battery is charged, even if you disconnect all other power sources. However, thisis less accurate than when the camcorder is on.[3 Recording Setup][2][Initial Time Code][3 Recording Setup][2][DF/NDF][DF]
