Shot mark recording
When SHOT MARK 1 and SHOT MARK 2 are set to ON 
on the ESSENCE MARK page, good shot marks (shot 
mark 1 and shot mark 2) are recorded when you press the 
RET button of the lens. (If LTC UP-MARKER is set to 
OFF, the marks are recorded only in the system area. If 
LTC UP-MARKER is set to ALL, the marks are recorded 
in the LTC UBIT area even when SHOT MARK 1 and 
SHOT MARK 2 are set to OFF.)
To record a shot mark 1: Press the RET button on the lens 
once. 
On the viewfinder screen, z and the time code of the 
marked point are displayed for about 3 seconds.
To record a shot mark 2: Press the RET button on the lens 
twice. 
On the viewfinder screen, X and the time code of the 
marked point are displayed for about 3 seconds.
For detailed information on shot mark operations, refer to 
the manual supplied with your VTR.
When you perform the setting to confirm the image of the 
return video signal in the viewfinder (see page 83), shot 
mark 1 and shot mark 2 cannot be recorded by operating 
the RET button of the lens.
Recording start mark recording
When REC START MARK set to ON on the ESSENCE 
MARK page, a recording start mark is recorded at the 
beginning of recording. (If LTC UP-MARKER is set to 
OFF, the mark is recorded only in the system area. If LTC 
UP-MARKER is set to ALL, the mark is recorded in the 
LTC UBIT area even when REC START MARK is set to 
OFF.)
For detailed information on recording start mark 
operations, refer to the manual supplied with your VTR.
3-2-4 Starting a Shoot with a Few 
Seconds of Pre-Stored Picture Data 
(Picture Cache Function: with CBK-
MB01)
By installing the optional CBK-MB01 extension board in 
the camcorder, the camcorder is able to constantly store a 
few seconds (up to 8 seconds) worth of the most current 
picture and sound data in the boards memory.
Thus, when you press the VTR START button or the VTR 
button on the lens, the recording starts with the data stored 
a few seconds before.
Setting the Picture Cache time/Picture 
Cache mode
To record in Picture Cache mode, you need to turn on 
Picture Cache mode and set the picture data storage time 
(Picture Cache time) using the USER menu.
The Picture Cache time and VTR SAVE/STBY switch 
settings determine the number of seconds of picture data 
that will be stored in memory and recorded when you press 
the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens. 
The following table shows the approximate number of 
seconds worth of picture data (counting back from the time 
you begin recording) that will be recorded from memory. 
However, when changing from SAVE to STBY, or under 
the special situations explained in the notes on this page, 
the actual amount of data recorded may be shorter.
• After selecting the Picture Cache mode, immediately 
changing the Picture Cache time or performing playback 
or recording review, the picture data stored in memory 
before this operation are made to be unrecordable. This 
means that when you press the VTR START button or 
VTR button on the lens, the previously stored picture 
data will not be recorded.
• During playback or recording review, the picture data is 
not stored in the MSDW-903s memory. Picture data 
corresponding to the duration of playback or recording 
review will not be in memory and will not be recorded to 
tape.
