displayed when displayed as 1 : 1 video.
By also increasing the recording speed or decreasing the resolution, there are situations where
the video on the screen becomes extremely small .
In these situations, use the fit function to instantly shrink/enlarge the video to an appropriate
resolution for the monitor's screen.
Additionally, the image can be enlarged or shrunk by the desired zoom factor using the zoom
function, making it pos sible to verify details or look over the entire picture.

3.6. Segment Playback
The playback of images recorded at high-speed takes an extraordinary long time. For example,
one second of high-speed vid eo recorded at 2000 fps takes 66 seconds to play ba ck a t the normal
30 fps, in other words, over one minute of playbac k time. In many cases, the range of images you
wish to view is only a few images out of the 2000 recorded.
Photron high-speed cameras have the segment playback function to playback only the range of
images you wish to view by simply specifying the start and stop points of that range.
This section explains how to use the segment playback.
① Set the camera to MEMORY mode.
② Playback the video using the normal procedure.
③ Press the START key at the start point of the range of images you wish to view.
④ Press the END key at the end point of the range of images you wish to view.
⑤ Press the ON/OFF key in the remote control ler' s SEG MENT PLAY BACK section and check
that the LED is illuminated. This puts the camera in segment playback mode.
Playback operations will now occur only within the range spec ified by the start and end
points.
26
3.7. Playback Event Marker Function
In MEMORY mode, you can store 10 playback image frame numbers and immediately acc ess, or
jump to, those stored frame numbers (event marker frames). By marking the locations you wish to
view while the video is playing, you can easily recall those locations with this convenient function.
① Set the camera to MEMORY mode.
② Playback the video using the n or mal proced ure.
③ Display the frame to store and press the STORE key.
④ Repeat steps 2 and 3 above. You can store a total of 10 points.
⑤ You can jump to the event marker frames using the up and down
SHUTTER keys (▲▼).
When an event marker frame is displayed, "MARKER FRAME x" appears in the screen text.
(Where x is a number from 1-10)
When storing a frame that exceeds the 10th point, the points are overwritten from the first stored

■PARTITION MODE
You can configure the recording setting in memory partition mode. 。
There are two modes: MODE1 and MODE2.
MODE1 : " Recording to a partitioned section" operation as previously explained (p. 38).
MODE2 : After recording, automatically moves to the next partition.
• The section below shows the operation when the parti tion count is 10 in MODE2.
① Put the camera in the READY state with ID01.
② Input the REC trigger to record.
③ After recording ends, the ID automatically changes to 02 and the camera waits for the REC trigger
input.
This means in START mode, the camera is in the READY state. In CENTER, END, and MANUAL
modes, the camera is in the ENDLESS state.
④ Input the REC trigger to start recording.
⑤ Recording ends.
⑥ The ID automatically changes to 03 and the camera waits for the REC trigger input.
⑦ Steps ②, ③, and ④ are repeated, recording finishes with ID10, and then the camera returns to
LIVE.
This mode saves the effort of moving to an ID manually and putting the camera into the trigger
wait state, so it is better suited for consecutive recordings while changing IDs.
MODE2 operation is only valid when the trigger mode is the following modes.
