Recording Review
If you press the RET button on the lens while recording is paused, the last two seconds of the recording is played back on the viewfinder screen and the color LCD. Use this function to check whether recording went smoothly. If you hold down the RET button, the last recorded clip is played back from its beginning. After playback, the camcorder is ready to start recording again.
By assigning the the same function as that of the LENS RET button on the lens to the ASSIGN 1/3/4 switch, you can use the switch in the same way as the lens RET button.
