To search for scenes in clips with the

Expansion in the setup menu. The selected clip is
displayed as follows.
HD mode:
The clip is divided into 12 equally-

frame in each block is displayed.
SD mode:
Only in the case of clips that have been
split into partial files because the file size was
larger than 2 GB, a thumbnail of the first
frame of each partial file is displayed.
This helps you to quickly cue up to a desired
scene in a clip of long duration.
