Displaying Data Code
A data code, containing the date and time the recording was made and other
camera data (shutter speed and exposure settings) is automatically recorded on a
E
special data section of the tape.
During playback, the date code can be displayed or hidden while the camera is in,
play, slow or still mode.
Date and time data (only) can be displayed during fast forward, rewind, reverse
playback, forward and reverse x2 playback.
Press the wireless controller's DATA CODE button.
• Press it once to display, once more to hide it.
You can also choose which type of data code to display — either the date/time,
camera data or both.
(see p. 28)
1. Select DATA CODE from the VCR menu.
2. Choose between DATE/TIME, CAMERA DATA and CAM. & D/T.
3. Press the MENU button once more to close the menu.
Notes:
• To avoid accidental recording, make sure that you slide the tab on the cassette so
that it exposes the hole (the switch position is usually labelled SAVE or ERASE
OFF).
• The data code will read "— — —" in the following situations:
- When playback is stopped.
- During playback of a blank section of tape.
- If the tape was recorded before entering the date and time in the camera's
memory.
- If the tape was recorded on a camera without a data code function.
- If noise or tape damage prevents the data code from being read.
• Data code is not displayed during high speed playback modes.
• If a recording made on ZR is played back on a different DV camcorder, the data
code may not be displayed correctly.
• Contents of data code display may change according to D/TIME SEL. or DATA
CODE settings made on the menu. (P. 69)
