    2. Enter the timecode in the following format: “hh:mm:ss.sss” (hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds). The crosshair jumps immediately to the selected timecode.

      You can omit part of the timecode information:

      • It is optional to specify “.milliseconds”.

      [Note]Note

      The character preceding the milliseconds is a dot, not a colon.
