Selecting the Playback Starting Point
If you have a very long scene, you may want to start playing back the
scene from a certain point. You can use the movie timeline to break the
scene to segments at fixed time intervals ranging from 6 seconds to 6
minutes. If you recorded movies using face detection (
"

display the scene divided into segments every time the camcorder reg-
istered a change in the main subject of the scene.
1 Open the [Original] or [Playlist] index screen.

The [Timeline] screen appears. The large thumbnail will show the first
frame of the scene. Below it, the timeline ruler shows frames taken
from the scene at fixed intervals.

the scene from that point.
