Playback and Recording 3 Chapter

Recording a SHOT MARK 2

Press the RET button twice in quick succession during recording or playback.

“ShotMark2” appears near the timecode display on the viewfinder screen for about one second.

If SHOT MARK 2 recording has been assigned to one of the ASSIGN switches, you can also use that switch to record a SHOT MARK 2.

Setting the Thumbnail Image at Recording Time

When you record a clip, you can specify which frame to use as the clip’s thumbnail image (see page 78).

For example, if all clips have the same image in their first frames, you can specify a frame a few seconds after the start of the clip, so that all thumbnails will not show the same image.

Note

The factory default setting is to use the first frame in the clip as the thumbnail.

Proceed as follows.

(How to select an item in the menu screen: Turn the MENU knob to move the b mark to the desired item.)

1 Display the ESSENCE MARK page of the MAINTENANCE menu, and press the MENU knob.

For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu Operations” on page 132.
