Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
Shot Marker (SHOT MARK)
Recording Function
This function can be used to distinguish a clip from other
clips by adding a thumbnail to each clip.
This also makes possible to display or play back the
marked clips only.
To add shot marks
1
In the SW MODE screen, assign SHOT MARK
to a user button (USER MAIN, USER1 or
USER2) or the RET button on the lens.
For details on menu operation, refer to [Using the
menus] (page 120).
2
Press the user button (or the RET button on the
lens) to which SHOT MARK has been assigned
during recording or when recording is paused.
• SHOT MARK ON is displayed as a shot mark is
inserted in the currently recorded clip.
• Pressing this key a second time displays SHOT
MARK OFF and the shot mark is deleted.
 NOTE
• A shot mark added during a pause after recording is added to
the most recently recorded clip.
• Shot marks can be added also in the thumbnail display.
• The shot mark function is not available during loop recording,
interval recording and one-shot recording. When this function
is not available, pressing this button displays SHOT MARK
INVALID.
• Shot marks can be set or cancelled in playback pause mode
but not during playback.
• Shot marks cannot be set or deleted for video data created
in a single hot-swap recording session consisting of multiple
clips unless all the P2 cards that contain the video data
for the entire session are inserted. In clips that consist of
multiple clips like the one above, shot marks can be added
only to the first clip of video data.
Text Memo Recording Function
Use this function to add text memos anywhere in the video
during clip recording or playback.
This makes it possible to display thumbnails only of clips
with text memos, or to display thumbnails and time codes
of text memo positions in order, to play back clips from text
memo points and select and copy only the sections you
want.
For details, refer to [Text Memo] (page 107).
To add text memos

In the SW MODE screen, assign TEXT MEMO

recording and one-shot recording. When this function is not
available, pressing this button displays TEXT MEMO INVALID.
