Recording, Playing Clips, Deleting Clips

RECORDING

Once you select a record format, all you need to do is press the red record button—one is located with the power switch on the back of the camera, while the other is toward the front of the camera on the handle. To use the record button on the handle,

move the REC selector switch on the side of the handle from OFF to ON.

NOTE: If you do not select a record format, the camera will default to the last user’s record settings.

PLAYING CLIPS

To view clips on the camera, press the MODE but- ton (located to the left of the battery compartment) to switch from CAM (camera) to PB (playback).

All clips recorded on the card display in the LCD monitor. Use the operation lever to navigate to the clip to view—push in the lever to play the clip.

DELETING CLIPS

After viewing your recorded footage, you can delete any clips you don’t want to use. While still in PB mode, press the MENU button. Scroll down and se- lect OPERATION in the PB menu. Select DELETE.

At this point, you can delete all unprotected clips on the card or selected clips only. If you delete ALL CLIPS, select YES when prompted by “ALL CLIPS DELETE?”.

If you delete SELECT clips, all recorded clips display on the LCD monitor. After pressing the EXECUTE

button, SELECT THE CLIP TO BE DELETED appears and all the clips display again. Select the clips to be deleted using the operation lever—an orange border appears inside the yellow when properly selected. Press EXECUTE again, and then select YES when prompted. When you’re done deleting clips, press the MENU button to exit.
