The camera automatically adds metadata to MXF clips, which are recorded on a CF card. You can use the
Canon XF Utility software to check and search for specific metadata. You can also create and transfer a user
memo remotely using the Wi-Fi Remote application (

Setting a User Memo Created with Canon XF Utility
Before you can add a user memo, you must first install the Canon XF Utility software (

user memo and then save it to an SD card. Once you insert the SD card in the camera and select the user
memo, it will be added to clips you record.
For details on using the software, refer to the instruction manual that is installed with the
Canon XF Utility
software (

recording. If the SD card is removed, the user memo will not be added
to the clip.

added to the clip. You cannot change the user memo already added to a
clip using the camera but you can do so with the
Canon XF Utility
software.
