Recording Shot Marks

On this camcorder, two types of shot marks are
available. You can record them at user-specified
positions to make it easier for editors to cue up
those positions.
The maximum number of shot marks per clip is
999.
You can also use the Thumbnail menu to add and
delete shot marks in clips. For details, see "Adding/
Deleting Essence Marks on Clips" (page 116).
To record shot marks
The following two methods are supported.
• Turn on an assignable switch assigned with the
Shot Mark 1 or Shot Mark 2 function.
When a shot mark is recorded, a "Shot Mark 1" or
"Shot Mark 2" indication appears in the
viewfinder for about three seconds near the
timecode indicator.

Setting Clip Flags

To make it easier for editors to select good clips,
you can set clip flags in recorded clips.
To add/delete clip flags
You can use the Thumbnail menu to add and
delete clip flags in previously recorded clips. For
details, see "Adding/Deleting Clip Flags on
Clips" (page 115).
Recording Retroactive Images
(Picture Cache Recording)
The camcorder always maintains a cache of video
and audio data for a set interval (maximum of 15
seconds) in internal storage memory when
shooting, allowing you to record several seconds
of footage before the start of recording.
