Default Excel time calculation

I want to enter a time in c2 and I want d2 to show a time 50 minutes earlier.
What formula can I use. These time formulas have me baffled.
Note when I format the cell for time and enter 0700 the time returns as 00:00.

You shouldn't enter time as 0700 since it means the number 700, enter it in
C2 as 07:00

=C2-time(,50,)
