Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
To return to the previous screen
Press the THUMBNAIL button, turning the
THUMBNAIL indicator off. At any point in the procedure
you can return to the previous screen with this operation.
The factory default setting is to use the first frame of a clip
as its thumbnail image. At recording time, you can change
this to another frame within 10 frames of the start of the
clip (page 66). You can also change it to any frame at
playback time (page 79). However, the thumbnail search
function always cues up the first frame in a clip, even if the
thumbnail image has been changed.

You can switch the clip information displayed at the
bottom of thumbnails. You can also switch the display of
thumbnail sequence numbers.
