Clip Thumbnail/Data Function

Shot Marker Function

If desired, you can add a simple OK/NG shot marker to each clip either during or after recording. When a P2 card containing marked clips is inserted* in a PC, the PC will display with a M demarkation in the P2 viewer / P2 Content Management Software, P2CMS, which of the clips is the one with the Marker.

*This function requires P2 viewer or P2CMS software for Windows PC or MAC computers, which P2 users can download for free.
