FS700 not generating continuous timecode

[ebsseattle]

For the past couple weeks, my FS700 has been recording footage and always having each clip begin at a 00:00:00:00 timecode. In the past, when ingesting to FCP7, it would show me a different "Media Start" timecode for each clip. But the way it's loading now, FCP sees each clip as duplicates of previous clips.

Is there a setting on the FS700 that I need to change to get continuous timecode?

Have you tried setting the timecode to Free Run?

Yeah, no luck

Contact Sony service. It may be that the internal battery in the camera for this has died out after all these years.

I put a call into them a couple days ago, waiting for a response. The only thing that makes me think this wouldn't be a battery issue is that it's just the timecode that the camera is generating that's not sticking to the Meta data. So it feels like a setting that's just not telling the camera to log the timecode, rather than an internal battery issue.

I just figured it out. Ends up I was running FCP v7.0 and after updating to 7.0.3, it suddenly sees the metadata.

Glad to hear you figured it out.
