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 TimeWhen 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.
