Splitting up motion pictures

Playback Mode:
A single motion picture can be split into 2 parts. This is convenient when you want to keep
just the necessary scenes, or if you wish to delete unnecessary scenes to increase free
space on your card, such as when traveling.

Select the motion picture to split with ◄►, and then press
