If you press this button when the thumbnail screen is displayed, the duration of the selected clip is divided into 12, and the first frame of each of the divisions is shown in a further thumbnail display (expand function). Each time you press the button, the division is repeated (to a maximum of three times, with 1728 divisions). Hold down the SHIFT button and press this button to step back through the division process.

For details of the expand function, see page 80.

bCOUNTER/CHAPTER (counter display toggle/ chapter) button

Each time this button is pressed, the counter display section changes as follows. This setting is activated only when the LCD monitor display is set to STATUS with the DISPLAY/EXPAND button.

COUNTER: Displays the elapsed recording/playback time.

TC: Displays timecode.

U-BIT:Displays user bits data.

If you press this button when the thumbnail screen is displayed, those frames on which essence marks are recorded appear in a list (chapter function). Press the button once more to return to the normal thumbnail display.

By displaying thumbnails with essence marks attached in place of index frames, you can check the contents of clips more easily and more quickly. This is also useful for cueing up long clips.

For details of the chapter function, see page 79.

cRESET button

Resets the display of the time data when the LCD monitor display is set to STATUS or CHAR with the DISPLAY/ EXPAND button. According to the settings of the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch (see page 21) and the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch (see page 21), this button resets the display as follows.

If you press this button when thumbnails of frames with essence marks are displayed using the COUNTER/ CHAPTER button, or when thumbnails of clip divisions are displayed using the DISPLAY/EXPAND button, then the display returns to the normal thumbnail display.

dBRIGHT (brightness) button

Sets the backlight brightness. Each time you press this button, the backlight brightness cycles through the following four levels:

H:Select this to view the LCD monitor in outdoor daylight.

M:Brightness level between H and L.

L:Select this to view the LCD monitor indoors or outside at night.

OFF: Turn the backlight off (you can view video under normal lighting). Select this in outdoor daylight when the LCD monitor screen is subjected to direct sunlight.
