Step #1

First things first, grab a BNC to 3.5 TRS cable. Next, locate the timecode port on the back of the Zoom F8 and plug it in.

Step #2

Really quickly, confirm your frame rate with your Cinematographer, in this case we’re using “24.”

On your TC-1, scroll over to the frame rate section and match it to the camera.
