3. Press the ⋖Multi-controller⋗ to select the image.

During the single-image display, the [

During the index display, the perforation on the left edge of the image indicates that it is a movie. Movies cannot be played on the index display, so press the ⋖SET⋗ button to switch to the single-image display.

The movie playback panel will appear on the bottom.

The editing screen will be displayed.

The portion highlighted in blue on the top of the screen is what will remain.

Since the editing is done in 1-sec. increments (position indicated by [
