Shot mark function

The marks attached to the thumbnails of clips are called shot marks. On the thumbnail screen monitor you can select only those clips with a shot mark and display them or play them back. During recording, when you press the USER button to which the SHOT MARK function has been allocated, MARK ON appears in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, and a shot mark is set for the thumbnail of the clip being recorded. If you press the button again, the shot mark is released. You can also set or release the shot marks by performing the thumbnail operations for clips. (Page 31)

However, note that you cannot set or release shot marks during playback.

•INVALID appears when you cannot set or release shot marks.

LAST CLIP function

The most recently recorded clip can be deleted at the touch of a button by allocating the LAST CLIP function to any of the USER 1 - 3 buttons.

Press the USER button allocated for the LAST CLIP function to display YES/NO on the screen. Select YES to delete the most recently recorded clip.

•Select NO not to delete the clip.

•If the camera has been switched to PB mode or the recording format has been changed since recording was completed, clips cannot be deleted even if the button is pressed. Clips also cannot be deleted if the power has been switched off and back on again.

•Clips cannot be deleted even if the button is pressed if the memory card has been removed and reinserted since recording was completed.

Shooting

Index recording

This function allows you to add an index at a certain point of a clip during the recording or playback.

Press the USER button allocated to the INDEX function during recording to record an index signal at this point of the clip. (Pages 11, 55)

Indexes may also be added during playback, and it is also possible to select only clips with indexes for display or playback. (Pages 34, 35)

•Up to 100 indexes can be recorded for one clip.

•When the number of indexes exceeds 100, INVALID is displayed, and no further indexes can be added even when the steps for adding indexes are taken.

•When repeatedly adding indexes, leave a gap of at least one second between adding one index and the next. If indexes are added with a gap of less than one second between them, only the first operation will be valid.

CAPTURE function

If the CAPTURE feature is assigned to any of the USER 1 – 3 buttons, still images can be shot.

•The number of recorded pixels and quality of the still images cannot be changed.

•This function does not operate when a movie is being recorded, or when the PRE REC mode is in use.

•The SD memory card used for recording is the same as that used for video recording.
