About clips
To delete a clip
You can delete the last recorded clip using the
Last Clip Delete function (page 116). To delete
all clips or specific clips, perform the operation
from the thumbnail screen (page 76).
Using the power zoom lever
Zoom by pressing the power zoom lever C.
Lightly press the power zoom lever C for a
slower zoom. Fully press it for a faster zoom.
• The minimum distance required between your
camcorder and the subject for focus is about 1
cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about
80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.
• The focus may not be adjusted at certain zoom
positions if the subject is within 80 cm (about 2
5/8 feet) from your camcorder.
• Keep your finger on the power zoom lever C.
If you move your finger off the power zoom
lever C, the operation sound of the power
zoom lever may also be recorded.
Using the handle zoom
1. Set the handle zoom operation to “Low,”
“High,” or “Variable” using Handle Zoom
(page 90) >Setting in the Camera menu.
• When set to “Variable,” you can zoom in or
out at a variable speed according to the
pressure applied to the switch.
• When set to “Low” or “High”, you can
zoom in or out at fixed speed, regardless of
the pressure applied to the switch. You can
set the speed to “Low” or “High” using
Handle Zoom in the Camera menu.
• By assigning the Handle Zoom >Setting
function to an assignable button (page 38),
you can switch the handle zoom operation
each time the button is pressed.
2. Press the handle zoom lever A to zoom in or
out.
Notes
• You cannot use the handle zoom lever A when the
handle zoom operation is set to OFF.
• Uneven zooming may occur when the zoom speed is
set to a low value.
Clip (recording data)
When you stop recording, video, audio, and
subsidiary data from the start to end of the
recording are recorded as a single clip on a
memory card.
Clip names
Each clip recorded by the camcorder is
automatically assigned a name using the
naming mode that is set in Clip Naming
(page 106) of the Media menu.
Maximum clip duration
The maximum duration of a clip varies
depending on the recording format.
The maximum duration of continuous
recording is the same as the maximum duration
of a clip. If the recording time exceeds the
maximum duration of a clip, a new clip is
created automatically and recording continues.
The new clip appears as a separate clip on the
thumbnail screen.
For details about the maximum recording time
of a clip for each recording format, see
“Maximum recording time for a clip”
(page 126).
