Adding Text Memos and Shot Marks

A text memo can be added to a clip to mark a specific location
of the clip. You can also add a shot mark to a clip to distin-
guish it from other clips. A text memo or shot mark cannot be
added to a clip on a P2 card with the write-protect switch set
to Protect.
Adding text memos
When a text memo is added, you can display a thumbnail at
the text memo position for playback or copying and seek
(move to) the text memo position by pressing the [NEXT] or
[PREV] button during video playback.
(➝ Setup Menu "SEEK POS SEL" page 87)

Assign "TEXT MEMO" to any [USER] button.
It is assigned to USER3 by default.

Press the [USER] button to which "TEXT MEMO" has
been assigned during recording, playback, or thumb-
nail display.
• Press this button during recording or playback to add a
text memo at the position the button was pressed. The
OSD displays "TEXT MEMO" (when successful) or "IN-
VALID" (when adding was not possible).
• Pressing this button when the thumbnail screen is dis-
played adds a text memo at the position of the clip
thumbnail (normally the beginning).
Note:
• Up to 100 text memos can be added to one clip.
• Pressing the [USER] button to which "TEXT MEMO" has
been assigned during playback may temporarily freeze the
playback screen. This is normal and not a malfunction.
