10. S.S.F. (Super Scene Finder) FUNCTION
10-1 Explanation of the S.S.F. Function
During recording, the SSF function records the time code data at the point of time of a desired recorded scene in the unit's memory.
Using the S.S.F. data stored in memory during after-processing of the recorded image allows efficient use of the tape.
The S.S.F. function comprises the two modes CUE and MARK. Select the mode using the VCR Setup Menu item No. 398 S.S.F.
MODE.
When the VCR Setup Menu item No. 398 SSF MODE is set to CUE MODE or MARK MODE, the time code generator's running
method is internally set to the REGEN mode.
When shooting in either of the modes, the time code data is stored in the unit's memory when the TAKE button on the front section
is pressed.
CUE Mode:
When the TAKE button is pressed at the desired scene during shooting of a given cut, the time code data at that point is stored
as CUE data in the unit's memory.

with VTR trigger
MARK MODE
During shooting of a given cut, press the TAKE button at beginning of a desired scene and then press the TAKE button again at
the ending of the scene.
The time code data at the point where the TAKE button is pressed first becomes the start point of the scene and time code data
at the point where the TAKE button is pressed the second time becomes the ending point, and both are stored in the unit's
memory.

time code data
• In the MARK mode up to 119 scenes can be stored in memory. When the memory becomes full, the indication showing the
number of recorded scenes on the viewfinder screen becomes "M: - - -".
However, if mixed with the CUE mode, the maximum number of scenes that can be stored decreases for each scene.
• In the CUE mode up to 237 points can be stored in memory.
However, for each REC start/stop the maximum number of points that can be stored decreases by two points for each scene.
The same is true when the CUE mode is mixed with the MARK mode.
• When the videocassette is replaced, new S.S.F. data is generated. S.S.F. data for six videocassettes can be stored in the
internal memory.
Note:
• Be sure to record S.S.F. data continuously on the same tape. It is not possible to rewind the tape for overwriting during the
recording.
If the tape is rewound in the middle of a recording, or after similar operation is performed, be sure to use the Scene End Cue
Up function in order to ensure that new data are recorded in continuation of the existing data.
See page 63.
• In the S.S.F. mode, the VTR save mode is not activated.
