Setting the File Name for XF-AVC Clips
The camcorder allows you to change several settings that determine the file name of XF-AVC clips.
Personalize the clip file name according to your preferences or organizational conventions to create
files that are easier to identify and organize.
The basic file name structure is as follows.
Operating modes:
A 0 0 1 C 0 0 1 _ y y m m d d X X _ C A N O N _ 0 1

Camera index:
One character (A to Z) that
identifies the camcorder used.
2
Reel number:
3 characters (001 to 999) that
identify the card used. The number is
assigned automatically but you can set the
initial number. After you insert a new card (just
purchased or initialized), the number
advances by one when the first recording is
made.
3
Clip number:
4 characters (C001 to D999).
The clip number advances automatically with
each clip recorded (switching to D001 after
C999), but you can set the initial clip number
and select the clip numbering method.
4 Recording date (set automatically by the
camcorder).
5 Random component: 2 characters (numbers
0 to 9 and capital letters A to Z) that change
randomly with each clip.
6
User defined field:
5 characters (numbers 0
to 9 and capital letters A to Z) for any other
identification purposes.
7 When an SD or SDHC card is used to record
clips, a stream number (01 to 99) will be
added to the file name. The stream number
will advance every time the video (stream) file
within the clip is split and recording continues
on a separate stream file.
