Setting The User Bit Value - Sony 500WSPL Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the User Bit Value

You can set the user bits as eight-digit hexadecimal
values (base 16) to have the date, time, scene number,
and other information inserted into the time code.
When using both the time code and user bits, set up
the user bits first. If you set the time code first, the
internal time code generator will remain stopped while
you set the user bits, which will set the time value off
from the original setting.
