a Index picture
UDF, FAT-HD mode: When a clip is recorded, its
first frame is set automatically as the index
picture. You can change the index picture to any
frame (see page 102). If the clip is locked or the
OK mark is on the clip, the lock mark appears.
FAT-SD mode: When a clip is recorded, its first
frame is set automatically as the index picture. If
the file size is larger than 2 GB, and that the clip
has been split before being saved, the take mark
appears.You can check the segment files on
the expand thumbnail screen (see page 100).
b Date and start time of recording
c Clip name
The number after the clip name (delimited by /) is
the number of components. This appears only for
clips larger than 2 GB in size, which have been
split into smaller files for storage in the FAT-SD
mode.
d Lock mark (UDF and FAT-HD mode
only)
Indicates the selected clip is marked with an OK
mark.
e Independent AV file icon (UDF and
FAT-HD mode only)
Appears only when a clip is an independent AV
file. SxS memory cards may contain independent
files that have been added directly from a
computer. Because independent files lack the
associated management files, some operations
and information displays may not be available.
f Video format of recording
g Special recording information (UDF
and FAT-HD mode only)
Displays the mode of clips that have been
recorded in a special mode (Slow & Quick
Motion, Interval Rec, Frame Rec).
For Slow & Quick Motion clips, the frame rates
are displayed to the right as “Recording frame
rate/Playback frame rate” fps.
h OK, NG, KP mark (UDF and FAT-HD
mode only)
UDF: When an OK, NG, or KP flag is added to
the selected clip, the corresponding mark is added
to the clip.
FAT-HD mode: When an OK mark is added to
the selected clip, the OK mark is added to the clip.
i File format
Indicates the file format of the selected clip
(MXF, MP4. AVI). (File format does not indicate
when in UDF/HD mode.)
j Clip duration
k Timecode
This is the timecode of the index picture.
Note
Normal thumbnail screens display SD clips only or HD
clips only, even if the SxS memory card contains clips in
both formats. You can select the format to display by
selecting a mode with “OPERATION” > “Format” >
“HD/SD” (see page 107) in the setup menu.
If you want to display all recorded clips, regardless of the
HD/SD mode, switch to the all clips thumbnail screen.
However, it is not possible to start playback from the all
clips thumbnail screen (see page 97).

When two SxS memory cards are loaded, you can
switch between them by pressing the SLOT
SELECT button.
Note
While an expand thumbnail screen (see page 93) or a
shot mark (essence mark) thumbnail screen (see
page 101) is displayed, SxS memory cards cannot be
switched.
