a pause in ONE SHOT mode, the RET button at the lens is

3-7 Recording Review Function

When recording is paused,
automatically locates the last two seconds of video just
recorded, and the viewfinder provides video playback.
After playback, the video camera-recorder is again ready to start
recording.
The picture location/playback duration can be increased to up to
10 seconds by continuously pressing the RET button. For short
clips, however, when the start of a clip is located, continuously
pressing the RET button does not play back any clips before that
clip.
The function of the RET button may be assigned to a desired
user button by using one of the menu options USER MAIN SW,
USER1 SW or USER2 SW. These options can be found in the
<USER SW> screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
When recording is paused, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button
plays back the last recorded clip, from the beginning. After
completion of playback, the camera-recorder enters the stopped
state.

When the OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panel is positioned
at [MEM], the video for REC REVIEW is output from the video
output connectors (VIDEO OUT and MON OUT connectors),
and also to the viewfinder.
Note that when a backup device is connected to back up the
video the pictures for REC REVIEW are backed up.
