Marking an Index
If you mark an index at the scene you want to search for, you can easily search for the
scene later (p. 64).
In recording mode [a]:
Press INDEX MARK.
The “INDEX MARK” indicator appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder for
seven seconds and the index is marked after the indicator disappears.
In standby mode [b]:
Press INDEX MARK.
The “INDEX STBY” indicator appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. And
when you press START/STOP to start recording, the “INDEX STBY” indicator changes
to “INDEX MARK” and after the indicator disappears, the index marking is complete.
The camcorder starts index-marking at the 11th frame from the recording start point.
An index signal will be recorded on cassette memory about 0.3 sec, and on a tape about
five seconds.
You can mark an index in VCR mode (p. 82).
To cancel index marking
Press INDEX MARK again in standby mode.
Notes on the index
•
Index marks are recorded during recording, you cannot mark an index after recording.
•Index signals will be recorded both on the tape and on cassette memory. If you use
cassettes without cassette memory or the cassette memory is full, the signals will be
recorded only on the tape.
•When you record over the recorded tape and mark an index on the tape, we
recommend that you clear all data in the cassette memory before marking an index.
