LCD monitor

The LCD monitor displays the video in the viewfinder. Alternatively, it can show clips on the P2 card in a thumbnail format.

In thumbnail display mode, clips can be edited or deleted, or P2 cards can be formatted using the

MENU BAR button and CURSOR and SET buttons.

OPEN button

THUMBNAIL button

This button switches the content on the LCD monitor from the video in the viewfinder to clip thumbnails. Another press switches them back to the video from the viewfinder.

Note that this switchover is not performed during a recording or playback.

MENU BAR button

In thumbnail display mode, this button allows you to manipulate the menu bar (e.g., to delete clips).

The four triangular buttons are the CURSOR buttons, and the center rectangular one is the SET button.

They are used to select a thumbnail and manipulate the menu bar. For more information, see [Chapter 6 Manipulating Clips with Thumbnails].
