Play List
What is “Play List”?
You can create a play list on this DVD Video Camera by gathering your favorites from the recorded scenes.
Since the play list is not created by copying data, you will consume little of the disc capacity by making a play list. 
On the other hand, deleting scenes on play list will not increase the remaining disc capacity for recording.
Play lists of up to No. 99 can be created and 999 scenes can be included in play lists of No. 1 to No. 99.

scenes with which you 
want to create a play list, 
you can change them on 
this screen.
With the created play list, you can also add scenes 
recorded on another day or delete unnecessary scenes 
afterwards.
6When creation of a play list is complete, the Disc 
Navigation screen will appear.
Note:•You can also select multiple scenes (P.98).•If the added scene had skip or fade set, that information 
will also be added to the play list.
•The date/time when a play list was created will appear as 
the title for the play list.
•If free space available on disc is insufficient, creation of 
new play list may not be possible: Delete unnecessary 
scenes.
•Only the data on scenes is recorded in play list: If you 
create or delete play lists, the original scenes in 
programs will not be erased.
Editing scenes on play list will not affect the scenes in 
programs.
•If you press the MENU button before pressing A in 
step 5, the submenu will appear (see page 102).
