Chapter 1 Overview
If you press this button when the thumbnail screen is
displayed, the duration of the selected clip is divided into
12, and the first frame of each of the divisions is shown in
a further thumbnail display (expand function). Each time
you press the button, the division is repeated (to a
maximum of three times, with 1728 divisions). Hold down
the SHIFT button and press this button to step back
through the division process.
For details of the expand function, see page 81.

chapter) button
Each time this button is pressed, the counter display
section changes as follows. This setting is activated only
when the LCD monitor display is set to STATUS with the
DISPLAY/EXPAND button.
COUNTER: Displays the elapsed recording/playback
time.

If you press this button when the thumbnail screen is
displayed, those frames on which essence marks are
recorded appear in a list (chapter function). Press the

cueing up long clips.
