Memo : Drop frame/non-drop frame mode 0 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”, the actual number of frames per second is approximately 59.94 (29.97). However, the time code processing standard is “60p”, “60i”, or “30p” frames. To make up for the frame number discrepancy, the drop frame mode (Drop) drops the 00 frame and 01 frame every minute except for minutes that are multiples of 10. However, in the case of “60p”, the 00, 01, 02 and 03 frame are dropped. 0 The non-drop frame mode (Non Drop) does not drop frames and ignores the discrepancy with the actual time.
