Cautions: Using the UltraSync BLUE
- Time codes will not be recorded if [H.264 8-bit (MP4)] is selected for [Video file type] in the video recording menu.
The UltraSync BLUE allows users to choose the frame rate. If the value is not a match for that chosen with the camera, time codes will not be recorded or output via HDMI. Match the frame rate for the UltraSync BLUE to the video recording frame rate as follows:
Video recording frame rate UltraSync BLUE frame rate 120p, 60p, 30p 29.97 fps, 29.97 fps DF 100p, 50p, 25p 25 fps 24p 23.98 fps - Select 29.97 fps DF for drop-frame recording.
- See the documentation for the UltraSync BLUE for information on choosing a frame rate.
- The options selected for [Timecode] > [Count-up method], [Timecode origin], and [Drop frame] in the video recording menu cannot be changed while the camera has a wireless connection to the UltraSync BLUE.
- If the camera loses the wireless connection to the UltraSync BLUE while filming is in progress, it will continue to record time codes until the end of the current shot, although the time code shown in the shooting display will switch to “--:--:--:--“ about 60 seconds after the connection is lost. The time code will reappear when the wireless connection to the UltraSync BLUE is re-established.
- The wireless connection to the UltraSync BLUE will end when the camera is turned off or the standby timer expires. We recommend choosing [No limit] for Custom Setting c3 [Power off delay] > [Standby timer].
