NOTES

•In this mode, the scene playback will pause only at points where the scene can be divided. Advancing/reversing frames will skip only between such points as well, so the interval will be longer than in regular frame advance/ reverse.

•The following scenes cannot be divided:

-Scenes included in the scene

selection (marked with a checkmark). Remove the selection mark in advance.

-Scenes too short (3 seconds or shorter).

-Scenes that were not recorded with this camcorder.

•Scenes cannot be divided within 0.5 seconds from the beginning or the end of the scene.

•During the playback of a scene that was divided you may notice some anomalies in the picture/sound at the point where the scene was cut. To avoid this, you can use the supplied software ImageMixer 3 to divide and edit scenes.
