and press the LIST/DOWN button while holding the F
FWD or REW button.
The FWD or REW button flashes while the shot marks
are being read.

is 200. Reading stops when 200 marks have been read.
At the same time, the message "SHOT LIST FULL"
appears in the FL display panel and the WARNING
indicator flashes.
The same message and warning are given if 200 marks
have already been read in at the time when reading

To read shot marks from multiple
cassettes
You can read shot marks from multiple cassettes by
exchanging the cassettes. The unit adds marks from the
new cassettes to the end of the shot mark list, until the
limit of 200 marks is reached. For example, if 190
marks have already been read, up to 10 marks can be
read from the next cassette.
A dividing line (broken line) is displayed between the
data of the first cassette and the data of the next
cassette.
To read only selected mark types
If you need only a specific mark type, use item G02 on
the Shot Mark Operation menu to select that type.
