4-5-7 CTL Count Setting and Display
By setting the DISPLAY switch to “CTL”, CTL count is
displayed on the time count indication of the LCD display
window.
The CTL count is displayed in ±12 hours with non-drop-
frame.
The playback order of clips recorded on a P2 card is not
linear as for VTRs. It is organized according to thumbnail
operations or  exchanging  P2 cards, and the priority of
recorded clips will be altered. Therefore, different CTL
counts are displayed for recording mode and playback
mode, respectively.
CTL count for recording mode (recording CTL)
Recording CTL count is displayed during recording mode
(REC, REC/PAUSE, STOP and REC REVIEW), and the
count continues from the end point of the previous recording.
Recording CTL count is retained even if the power is turned
off. When the power is next turned on, the count continues
from the previous value.

If the RESET button is pressed while the recording CTL
count is being displayed, only the recording CTL count is
reset. Note that reset is disabled during the REC REVIEW
operation.
CTL count for the playback mode (playback CTL)
During playback mode (PLAY, FF, REW, PLAY/PAUSE),
playback CTL count is displayed.
Whenever the playback order of clips is altered (clips are
sorted by shooting dates), previous playback CTL count is
disabled. The first frame of the first clip is used as a
reference value for recalculation, and the new playback CTL
count is displayed.
The playback order of clips is altered when either of the
following occurs:
z Clips are deleted, copied or restored, or the P2 card is
formatted.
z The thumbnail display is switched (for more information,
see [6-5 Switching the Thumbnail Display]).
z A P2 card is inserted or removed. The reference value (value of the first frame of the first clip)
is changed when either of the following occurs:
z
The power is turned on, the first frame becomes 0.
z When the playback CTL count is reset, the current
playback position is set as 0, and the previous reference
value becomes a negative value.

If the RESET button is pressed while the playback CTL
count is being displayed, only the playback CTL count is
reset.
4-5-8 Mode Check Screen Displays
(MODE CHECK button function)
The viewfinder can display a screen that allows you to check
the settings and status of the AJ-SPC700P.
Each press of the MODE CHECK button switches the
screen as follows:
STATUS screen   !LED screen   FUNCTION screen  
AUDIO screen   No indication
Each screen is displayed for about three seconds. A press of
the MODE CHECK button switches the current screen.
Whether or not to display each screen is specified through
