The TAKE/TALLY indicator (orange) lights in the viewfinder and “TAKE” appears on the screen.

5 Press the TAKE button when you find a shot where you would like to set a Mark OUT point.

The TAKE/TALLY indicator (orange) goes out in the viewfinder and the “TAKE” disappears from the screen.

At this time, the time code (HH:MM:SS) at the Mark IN/OUT point for scene 001 is recorded to the camcorder’s internal memory, and then recorded to the cassette memory.

To set/clear NG

If you press the NG button before you set the next Mark IN point, the previous scene will be designated as “NG” (“NG” appears on the viewfinder screen or the screen).

Once NG has been set, you can cancel it by pressing the NG button again before you set the next Mark IN point (the “NG” on the screen disappears).

6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed to record time codes at Mark IN/OUT points, scene numbers, and NG designations to cassette memory.

The scene number is automatically incremented each time you specify a Mark IN point.

This stops the recording operation.

The Index Pictures of each Mark IN point are recorded onto the tape (when the DSBK-301A is fitted).

The following data is recorded onto the cassette when you specify a Cue point to highlight a scene.

•Time codes (HH:MM:SS) for Rec IN/OUT points

•Time codes (HH:MM:SS:frame) for Cue points

•Scene number: The scene number is automatically incremented with each Rec IN point specification.

•NG designation, cassette name/number (if set from the camcorder)

•Index Pictures for all Rec IN points (when the DSBK-301A is fitted): these are recorded each time recording is stopped.
