3-2-3 Recording Essence Marks

Various essence marks, such as shot marks, can be
recorded on tape. Recording essence marks for scenes
containing important images and sounds enables quick
access to the marked points. This increases editing
efficiency.
There are essence marks that are automatically recorded by
starting recording or firing the flash and those you can
