To add a shot mark during playback
(HD mode only)
You can add shot marks to clips during playback
by using the same method used during recording
(see page 71).
Notes
Shot marks cannot be recorded when the S×S memory
card is write protected.
Shot marks cannot be added at the first or last frame of
a clip.
You can switch a thumbnail screen to the
following thumbnail search screens, which allow
you quickly find the clips you want.
Expand thumbnail screen
Shot mark thumbnail screen (HD mode only)
Like the normal thumbnail screen and the OK clip
thumbnail screen, these screens allow you to
select clip thumbnails (see page 80) and to start
clip playback (see page 80).
To search for scenes in clips with the
expand thumbnail screen
The expand thumbnail screen is convenient when
you want to find and cue up a specific scene in a
long clip.
To display the expand thumbnail screen, select a
clip in the thumbnail screen and press the
EXPAND button (see page 19) or select
THUMBNAIL >Thumbnail View >Forward
Expansion in the setup menu. The selected clip is
displayed as follows.
HD mode: The clip is divided into 12 equally-
sized blocks, and a thumbnail of the first
frame in each block is displayed.
SD mode: Only in the case of clips that have been
split into partial files because the file size was
larger than 2 GB, a thumbnail of the first
frame of each partial file is displayed.
This helps you to quickly cue up to a desired
scene in a clip of long duration.
See “Displaying the Expand Thumbnail Screen”
(page 87) for more information about the expand
thumbnail screen.
To search for shot marks in clips with the
shot mark thumbnail screen (HD mode)
When a clip contains one or more shot marks, you

screen. The shot mark thumbnail screen displays
a thumbnail of each shot mark frame in the clip.
To display the shot mark thumbnail screen, press
the ESSENCE MARK button (see page 21) or
