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 62)

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

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

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 43, 89)

Indexes may also be added during playback, and it is also possible to select only clips with indexes for display or playback. (Pages 65, 66)

•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.
