Hi,
Just wanted to know if anyone has tried running multiple cameras with free run timecode. I tried it with two cameras a few weeks back and set both cameras running via the remote to ensure they were exactly the same, both new cameras with new back up batteries etc but after about 3 hours one camera had either gained or lost 3 seconds. Tried reseting the next day but the same thing happened again. I have since talked to Canon Australia and they spoke to technicians in Japan who said they thought the problem may have been caused when the units were switched off once during the day - seems a bit of a wierd explanation and was wondering if anyone else had been using their cameras in this way??
Cheers
Mark
