Changing the Thumbnail Image (Index Frame) of a Clip

In the thumbnail screen, normally the first frame of a clip is displayed as the index frame.

To change this to show a different frame, proceed as follows.

Note

You can also select (at 1-second intervals) a frame within 10 seconds of the first frame as the thumbnail image of the clip at the time when you record a clip with this unit. For details, see page 65.

If you select a marked thumbnail, and press the SEL/SET button or MENU knob, this does not cue up to the thumbnail position. Cuing up is always to the first frame of the clip.

To cancel setting the index frame, hold down the SHIFT button and press the SEL/SET button down (CLIP MENU).
