44 Useful Functions

Rec Review

You can review the last recorded clip on the
screen (Rec Review) by assigning the Rec
Review function to an assignable button (page
42).
When you stop recording and press the assigned
button, the last 2 seconds of the clip are played.
When you press and hold the button for more than
1 second, the camcorder starts to rewind from two
seconds before of the last frame of the clip at 4×
speed. When you release the button, the
camcorder starts playback at that point.
Rec Review stops at the end of the clip, then
resumes STBY (recording standby) status.
Note
The Setup menus cannot be operated during Rec Review.

easy to adjust the focus. After adjusting the focus,
press the button again to returns to the normal
