Example: After recording cut 3, clearing cut 3 and recording cut 4 after cut 2

Continuous recording of a new cut after the cut before the most recent cut

In the above example, with the camcorder in the recording pause mode after recording cut 3, press the RET switch on the lens while holding the ASSIGN 1 switch down.

The camcorder automatically positions the tape at the end point of cut 2 and changes to the recording pause mode.

Record cut 4. Cut 4 is recorded after cut 2.

Notes

•When pictures consisting of cuts recorded using the RE-TAKE function are played back by the VTR for professional use, the CHANNEL CONDITION indicator, which indicates the condition of the played back signal of the VTR, may be lit in yellow or noise may be added to the cue audio for the first 2 or 3 seconds. To avoid this, it is recommended that you make the first part of the cut (in the above example, cut 4) about 3 seconds longer.
