ClipLink Shooting

Press the ClipLink CONTINUE button.
The tape remaining indication in the display
window flashes as the camcorder automatically
searches the recording stop point. When it finds the
recording stop point, it stops and enters recording
pause mode.
Once it has stopped, check that the indication
CONT
appears in the display window.
To find the recording stop point efficiently
If you press the ClipLink CONTINUE button after
rewinding or fast forwarding the tape to the
position between the previous recording's start
point and stop points, the recording stop point can
more efficiently be found via an automatic search
function.
If the recording stop point cannot be found, the
indication flashes in the display window.

When the recording is finished, set recording pause
mode (or specify a Mark OUT point).
The time code (HH:MM:SS), scene number (serial
number of scene during which recording was
stopped) and other data for the current clip
(contents between the Rec IN and Rec OUT points
or between Mark IN and Mark OUT points) are
recorded into cassette memory. The Index Pictures
for the recorded scene are recorded after the
recorded scene when the DSBK-301 is fitted.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to start recording the next
scene.
The Index Pictures are recorded onto the tape as
described below when the DSBK-301 is fitted.
