# Text memo

You can add text memos during recording or playback. Text memos can be used to play clips at some point or break clips into chunks and copy the necessary portions.

## Adding the text memo

You must assign [TEXT MEMO] to the USER button (USER1 to USER8) beforehand. For details, refer to “Assigning functions to the USER buttons”.

Press the USER button to which [TEXT MEMO] is assigned while recording, playback, thumbnails.

- Pressing this button while recording or playing inserts a text memo at the instance when the button was pressed. At that instance, [TEXT MEMO] (when successful) or [TEXT MEMO INVALID] (when unsuccessful) is displayed.

- Pressing this button while the thumbnail screen is displayed inserts a text memo in the clip thumbnail (normally at the beginning) position.

NOTE

- Up to 100 text memos can be recorded to a single clip.

- Playback may stop for a moment when the USER button to which [TEXT MEMO] is assigned is pressed. This is not a malfunction.

- You can hide the text memo indicator of a clip to which a text memo with card serial number is added. Set this in the main menu → [CLIP] → [THUMBNAIL SETUP] → [TEXT MEMO IND]. ([TEXT MEMO IND])
