Playback and Recording 3 Chapter

The message “DELETING LAST CLIP” appears, and the processing for deleting the last recorded clip begins.

When the deleting has finished, the message “LAST CLIP WAS DELETED” appears.

Note

If an operation (other than recording review) which is not a retake operation is carried out after the last clip has been recorded, the retake function does not work even when the camcorder is in the recording pause state.

In this case, the message “RE-TAKE NOT ALLOWED!” appears. When you want to replace the last clip with a new clip, see 3-2-2 “Deleting Clips” (page 42). Once you carry out a retake operation, the last clip is deleted even if you do not carry out a recording operation afterwards.

About the automatic title generation function

By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the range C0001.MXF to C0300.MXF. For this reason, two discs can contain clips with the same names. The automatic title generation function allows you to assign titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to
