Problem recording timecode for Scene Detect

Ok. my camera went into the shop to get a blown firewire port replaced and althought it is mechanically fine now there are two issues that appeared right after it was fixed...

software that captures footage reports that there is no timecode. i haven't changed anything and more importantly everything looks fine, i then even tried changing the few settings that deal with timecode and i still have the same problem.

what setting controls this?? i must be missing something stupid.

the other problem, through the eyepiece (not the lcd) the image is shifted just a little bit to the right, for example on the right hand side the last digit is 75% off the viewable area.

i noticed this while i was at the repair place checking out the camera and the tech is doing some research but says there is no setting he knows of to change this.

has anyone run into this before?

oh man, nobody has an answer to this?

i'm about to start shooting a short and its killing me not having the shots get captured in separate files.

i've checked everything 3 times so i'm sure i'm missing something stupid.

Re: Problem recording timecode for Scene Detect

i've been going through the manual and everything seems o.k.

i've even tried changing things that i knew were ok out of semi-desperation.

could someone please post just their settings from the recording setup from the part with TCG ->free run or rec run down?

mainly what do folks use for the UB Mode??

ok so that has nothing to do with the timecode/scene tracking then.

i never used it before, just pulling at straws.

ok, i have read the manual sections that deal with timecode like 4 times now. this worked before and the only change was the service on the camera...

could someone please post just their settings from the recording setup from the part with TCG ->free run or rec run down?

i am certain that if i can see someone elses settings who has the scene capture working it will solve this problem.

i am starting my latest short in a few days and i have GOT to fix this!
