To disable the function

page of the OPERATION menu to OFF.

Retaking the most recent clip

A retake function is available, making it easy to
erase and retake the most recently recorded clip.
To use the retake function, you need to assign it
to one of the ASSIGN 1/3/4/5 switches in
advance.
For details, see "Assigning functions to ASSIGN
switches" (page 209).
Example: After recording clip 3, you want to
delete it and record a new clip 3 after clip 2.
Clip 1 Clip 2
To retake the most recent clip
With recording paused or after the end of a
recording review (see page 78), proceed as
follows.
1
Hold down the button to which the
retake function has been assigned.
While the button is held down, the last frame
of the recorded clip and the message "PUSH
RET FOR CLIP DELETE" appears.
2
In this state, press the RET button.
The message "DELETING LAST CLIP"
appears, and the processing for deleting the
last recorded clip begins.
When the deleting has finished, the message
"LAST CLIP WAS DELETED" appears.
Notes
• The retake function cannot be used when the Clip
Continuous Rec function is enabled.
• If an operation (other than recording review) which is
not a retake operation is carried out after the last clip
has been recorded, the retake function does not work
even when the camcorder is in the recording pause
state.
In this case, the message "RE-TAKE NOT
ALLOWED!" appears. When you want to replace the
last clip with a new clip, delete the clip (see page 125).
Once you carry out a retake operation, the last clip is
deleted even if you do not carry out a recording
operation afterwards.
Assigning user-defined clip titles
automatically
About the automatic title generation
function
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names
in the range C0001.MXF to C9999.MXF. For this
reason, two discs can contain clips with the same
names.
The automatic title generation function allows
you to assign titles to all of the clips on several
discs, which facilitates clip management. For
example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles
TITLE00021 to TITLE00037 are assigned to
Clip 3 clips C0001.MXF to C0017.MXF on disc 2.
New clip
Titles are made up of prefixes, up to 10 characters
in length, and five-digit serial numbers such as
TITLE 00001.
Setting the title prefix
You can assign title prefixes by choosing from a
prefix list stored in internal memory, or by
entering the prefix directly.
However, to choose from a prefix list, you must
create the list beforehand on a computer and
