Learning on the fly- some quick questions

Hey all,
I've done my best to figure this out on my own, but I'm working under a time crunch, so if you know the answer to these questions or just a link to a post or site I should've already found, I really appreciate.

First, is there some way to mark a clip while I'm recording? I shoot a lot of basketball and would love to mark clips, but because plays can run for a while, I'll occasionally forget. Is there a way to somehow mark clips while recording?

Second, if I am ultimately going for a 30p project, probably for web, and I want to shoot in a format that will allow me to playback in real time with audio as well as have the extra frames for slomo, I can do that in 720/30p right? Doesn't that capture 60 fps and allow me to have both? I could be getting this confused, because I know that most variable frame rates don't capture audio. There are a few that do(?) and I wanted to be sure this would work.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

720 60i for slowmo with audio. when your in playback it wont be slow until you run it through cinema tools and conform it.
 
Thanks. I'll work on learning that compressor workflow.

Anybody know the best way to mark clips? I'm assuming on-the-fly is not possible, but if you have an efficient system, I'd love to hear about it. There's not much down time in basketball, especially when you're filming UNC's transition.

Thanks. I'd already assigned that function to a user button, not sure why I still had trouble. It's working now. I appreciate the help.
