concerning video clip editing
1 do not turn off the digital disk camera while you are editing video clips. if the power is turned off while editing video clips, not only will the editing not be properly completed, but the original video clip may also be erased.
2 note that as the number or size of the video clips increases, the disk installed in the digital disk camera may become full making it impossible to save the resulting video clip (the "disk full" message will appear). in such a case, you will need to create space on the disk by erasing old video clips that are no longer necessary (see page 149).
