Adjusting The Zoom - Sony PXW-Z190V Operating Instructions Manual

About clips
Clip (recording data)
When you stop recording, video, audio, and
subsidiary data from the start to end of the
recording are recorded as a single clip on a
memory card.
Clip names
Each clip recorded by the camcorder is
automatically assigned a name using the
naming mode that is set in Clip Naming
(page 87) of the Media menu.
Maximum clip duration
The maximum duration of a clip varies
depending on the recording format.
The maximum duration of continuous
recording is the same as the maximum duration
of a clip. If the recording time exceeds the
maximum duration of a clip, a new clip is
created automatically and recording continues.
The new clip appears as a separate clip on the
thumbnail screen.
For details about the maximum recording time
of a clip for each recording format, see
"Maximum recording time for a clip"
(page 101).
To delete a clip
You can delete the last recorded clip using the
Last Clip Delete function (page 91). To delete all
clips or specific clips, perform the operation from
the thumbnail screen (page 57).
