AC90: AC90 Issue - Not able to delete any scenes

I just noticed a strange issue. Since I've had my AC90 (since March 2013) I've never used the delete scenes feature. I always removed the card(s) from the AC90 and used a card reader to transfer all the video or photos from the card to my computers.

Well, I was just reviewing some video while the SD cards were still in the AC90, and I wanted to delete one of the scenes. To my amazement, there isn't an option to delete any scenes.
A few weeks ago I updated the firmware to 1.50 and my AC90 still performs as it did before the firmware update. As I said, I've never attempted to delete scenes from the AC90 before. I also have a Panny X920, whose operation to review and delete videos while reviewing them in the camcorder is identical in its operation.

i reviewed the AC90 manual (it may be the old manual before the firmware 1.50 update) and it states the following: "Change the mode to review the video/photos, then touch the play mode select icon." Well there isn't a "play mode select icon" on my LCD! I've been messing with my AC90 for the last hour, trying to figure out if I'm doing something incorrect.

Anyway, not a showstopper for me to not use my AC90 since all else seems to work as before the firmware update, I simply just noticed this issue today. Was wondering if the procedures have changed in order to delete video/photos from the cards while still in the AC90. Or if anyone else is seeing thrips issue on their AC90 after the 1.50 firmware update installation.
 
Thank you very much Barry! Obviously, the AC90's scene delete procedure is vastly different from the X920's delete procedure. I guess if I used the scene delete functionality more often, I would have known where and how to access it. Duh!!! At least we all know where to go to for help!
 
Well, not only that, but the AC90's delete procedure is in a very, very silly place. Who puts the "delete" command inside the "video setup" menu? I'm not surprised in the least that you were confused. I've never understood that particular decision by them; I know that instinctively I always, always go to the "other functions" menu, where I expect to find it, and then have to remember "oh, yeah, it's in "video setup"... so, glad you're up and running again!
 
Barry, I was fed up and was determined to locate the procedure even after reading the manual, and not to post my question here. Well that didn't happen. So after an hour of WTH?!?!?, I came here where I knew someone would have the answer. I was going to the Menu selection on the LCD, not the Menu button on the camera! Duh!!! Why Panasonic... Why???? Thanks again Barry for your help!
