Searching With the Expand Function
The expand function allows you to divide a selected clip
into 12 blocks, and to display thumbnails of the first frame
in each block in the thumbnail list. This function is
available whenever the thumbnail list is displayed. This
function allows you to quickly review the content of the
selected clip, and to search efficiently for a target scene.
You can repeat the expand operation up to three times
(
t 12 blocks t 144 blocks t 1,728 blocks).
The maximum number of blocks may be larger than 1,728
when the recorded duration of the clip is short. In this case,
the frame interval of expanded thumbnails is fixed at 1
frame. This allows you to view expanded thumbnails at
equal intervals.

contains the scene that you want to find.
