4-1 Overview

Chapter

Scene selection is a function which allows you to save, 
load, and edit clip lists consisting of clips recorded on disc, 
or parts of clips, arranged in any order. Clips or parts of 
clips which have been inserted into clip lists are called sub 
clips.

Up to 99 clip lists can be saved on disc. These clip lists can 
be loaded, one at a time, into the camcorder’s memory for 
playback and editing. Newly created clip lists are also 
saved in the camcorder’s memory.
This manual refers to the clip list which is currently loaded 
into the camcorder’s memory as the “current clip list”.

The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation 
and editing.

• Data in the camcorder’s memory is lost when the 

camcorder is powered off or the disc is ejected. After 
creating or editing a clip list, be sure to save it to disc.

• The current clip list cannot be saved to disc when the 

disc’s write-protect tab is set to the recording disabled 
position.
