79 Playback Playing back clips 1 Turn the POWER/MODE switch to set to PB/ THUMBNAIL mode. The thumbnail screen appears on the LCD monitor. 2 Push the Operation lever in the ◄ ► direction and position the pointer on the clip you wish to play back. 3 Push the Operation lever in the ▲ direction (► playback). • The clip under the pointer will be played back on the LCD monitor. • When playback of the clip over which the cursor is placed is finished, subsequent clips that can be played back are played back in the order they are displayed on the thumbnail screen, and when playback of the final clip is complete the system returns to the thumbnail screen. • When playing back clips, it is not necessary to “select” the clips (blue frames around the thumbnails). • Clips with clip numbers displayed in red cannot be played. • You can perform actions such as fast forward, rewind, and pause during operation by using the Operation lever or remote control. See page 74 for details. • During clip playback, push the Operation lever in the ▼ direction (STOP) to stop playback and return to the thumbnail screen. • When playback is stopped, the position of the pointer moves to the clip that was being played back, regardless of where the playback started. • Push the Operation lever in the ▲ direction (► play back) again to start playback from the beginning of the clip under the pointer. To continue playing from where previously stopped, turn the PLAYBACK RESUME setting “ON” in “Setting the thumbnail display mode” on page 92. Selecting thumbnails Multiple thumbnails can be randomly selected in the thumbnail screen. 1 Push the Operation lever in the ◄ ► direction to the clip you wish to select, and press SET. The frame around the selected thumbnail changes to a blue frame. Press the SET button on the Operation lever again to deselect the clip. 2 Additional clips can be selected by repeating Step 1.
