This is just the nature of writing timecode to a blank tape. If a camera can't find any timecode on that particular portion of the tape, it is going to start counting from zero. Seems like a logical thing for it to do, right? Some cameras will have some sort of 'end search' feature on them, so you can find the end of your last recording. This has some limitations of its own, but I think that you will quickly get used to simply being more aware of timecode breaks, and avoiding them.(posted 7883 days ago)However, if it continues to be a nuisance, there is one really simple way to get around it: Black the tape. What this means, is that you leave the lens cap on, hit record, and come back in about an hour, when the tape runs out. Now, you will have a tape that is has consistent timecode on it. This way, when you go to record whatever it is you want to record, you can tape over the black, and the camera will always have consistent timecode already laid down, and it won't matter where you start or stop the camera.
