# 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 a text memo

<TEXT MEMO> button

Press the <TEXT MEMO> button while recording, playing, or displaying thumbnails.

- Pressing this button while recording or playing adds a text memo to the position when the button was pressed. At this time, [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 <TEXT MEMO> button is pressed. This is not a malfunction.

- You cannot record text memos during loop recording.

- [TEXT MEMO] is assigned to the <TEXT MEMO> button in the factory setting. It can also be assigned to the <RET> button in the main menu → [CAMERA] → [SW MODE].

- 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])
