Time stamp function
The date and time of recording can be recorded to 
video images.
Select ON in the TIME STAMP item on the settings 
menu RECORD SETUP screen.
When the TIME STAMP function is ON, the letter 
R
 will be displayed in front of the date and time 
display in the viewfinder and the LCD monitor. 
In addition, the month display will change from a 
numerical value to an English name display.
The letter 
R
 display itself will not be recorded to 
the video.
The size and position of the time and date 
characters recorded to the image will vary 
depending on the recording format.
The size and position of the timestamp 
characters in external output displays may 
vary from the displays in the LCD monitor or 
viewfinder.
The recorded time and date display will follow 
the settings made in the DATE/TIME item on the 
SW&DISP SETUP screen. If this item is set to 
OFF, the date and time will not be recorded as a 
time stamp.
To avoid date and time displays overlapping 
when clips with timestamps recorded are played 
with this camera, please set the DATE/TIME item 
on the SW&DISP SETUP screen to OFF.
LAST CLIP function
The most recently recorded clip can be deleted at 
the touch of a button by allocating the LAST CLIP 
function to any of the USER 1 - 3 buttons.
Press the USER button allocated for the LAST 
CLIP function to display YES/NO on the screen.
Select YES to delete the most recently recorded 
clip.
Select NO not to delete the clip.
If the camera has been switched to PB mode or 
the recording format has been changed since 
recording was completed, or if interval recording 
has completed, clips cannot be deleted even 
if the button is pressed. Clips also cannot be 
deleted if the power has been switched off and 
back on again.
Clips cannot be deleted even if the button is 
pressed if the memory card has been removed 
and reinserted since recording was completed.
