5Press the <SET> button to display the confirmation screen, and use the cursor buttons and the <SET> button to select [YES]. (Fig. 2)

The menu closes and the thumbnail for the clip is replaced.

@@NOTE

tt You can view the thumbnail position (number of frames from the top of the clip) from the [THUMBNAIL] item of the clip information display. Since thumbnails usually come from the top of the clip, 0 is displayed.

tt Even if you change the thumbnail, playback from the thumbnail screen will still start from the beginning of the clip.

tt The thumbnail image with the [!] mark may be displayed for clips of a format with a different number of lines and frequencies when displaying a text memo clip without displaying the thumbnail of the text memo position displayed at the bottom section.

Shot mark

Shot marks can be added to a clip thumbnail to distinguish the clip from others.

<SHOT MARKER> button

1Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor over the clip to which you want to add a shot mark.

2 Press the <SHOT MARKER> button.

ffA shot mark is added to the thumbnail of the clip at the cursor position.

ffTo delete a shot mark, place the cursor again and press the <SHOT MARKER> button.

@@NOTE

tt You can attach a shot mark during recording.

tt Add shot marks after recording stops to attach the shot mark to the most recently recorded clip. For details, refer to “Shot mark recording function” (page 39).

tt When adding a shot mark to or deleting the shot mark from a clip recorded across multiple P2 cards, do this with all these P2 cards inserted into card slots.

tt [SHOT MARK] is assigned to the <SHOT MARKER> button in the factory setting. It can also be assigned to the <RET> button in the main menu → [CAMERA] → [SW MODE].

Adding a text memo

<TEXT MEMO> button

1Press the <TEXT MEMO> button while recording, playing, or displaying thumbnails.

ffPressing this button while recording or playing inserts a text memo at the instance when the button was pressed. At that instance, [TEXT MEMO] (when successful) or [TEXT MEMO INVALID] (when unsuccessful) is displayed.

ffPressing this button while the thumbnail screen is displayed inserts a text memo in the clip thumbnail (normally at the beginning) position.

@@NOTE

tt Up to 100 text memos can be recorded to a single clip.

tt Playback may stop for a moment when the <TEXT MEMO> button is pressed. This is not a malfunction. tt You cannot record text memos during loop recording.
