Set this when recording continuoustime code in connecting frames.0 [Free Run]:Time code starts to operate in run mode fromthe preset time in the time code generator.2 Select the framing mode for the time codegenerator (only when the frame rate settingis “60” or “30”).Set using [Main Menu] B [TC/UB] B [DropFrame].(A P103 [ Drop Frame ] )0 [Drop]:Sets the run mode of the time code generatorto drop frame mode.

Use this settingwhen placing emphasis on the number offrames.Memo :Drop frame/non-drop frame mode0 When the frame rate setting in [Main Menu] B[System] B [Record Set] B [Record Format] B[Frame & Bit Rate] is “60p”, “60i”, or “30p”, theactual number of frames per second isapproximately 59.94 (29.97). However, the timecode processing standard is “60p”, “60i”, or“30p” frames. To make up for the frame numberdiscrepancy, the drop frame mode (Drop) dropsthe 00 frame and 01 frame every minute exceptfor minutes that are multiples of 10. However, inthe case of “60p”, the 00, 01, 02 and 03 frameare dropped.0 The non-drop frame mode (Non Drop) does notdrop frames and ignores the discrepancy withthe actual time.Setting Time Code .OIS / 2 LOLUX / 3AE LEVELMENU/THUMBCANCELMENU/THUMBCANCEL1 Select [Main Menu] B [TC/UB] B [TCPreset] and press the Set button (R).(A P103 [ TC Preset ] )The [TC Preset] screen appears. .1Memo :0 When [TC/UB] B [TC Generator] is set to“Regen”, the parameter is displayed as “Regen”and cannot be selected.(A P102 [ TC Generator ] )65Shooting
