FX6 S&Q Time Code
Posted: January 7th, 2022, 12:20 am
Hi,
I've noticed that the Sony FX6's Free Run Time Code stops when S&Q is selected. If S&Q is deselected, the time code starts again, but jumps forward as if it were still running in the background.
However, if I record something in S&Q (100 fps in my example) the timecode starts and stops without advancing in the background.
I understand that when shooting at 100 fps, it's 4x more fames per second. And I can see the FX6's timecode runs way faster (probably 4x faster) when the cameras is set at S&Q 100 fps.
I can't work out why the time code stops though when the record button is pressed?
I may be missing something obvious, but can anymore help with an explanation?
Many thanks,
Gary
