Editing movies

Mode dial:

With the mode dial, you can cut movies, or delete unnecessary portions of movies. This is the recommended mode to use when the “Memory Stick” capacity is insufficient, or when you attach movies to your e-mail messages.

The file numbers assigned when movies are cut

The files saved after a movie cut are recognized as the latest files and are assigned new numbers. The original files are deleted, and the numbers previously assigned to those files are treated as missing numbers.
