The following two types of clip name strings can
be written in a planning metadata file.

viewfinder
• The UTF-8 format name that is actually
registered as the clip name
You can select which type of clip name is
displayed with OPERAION >Planning Metadata
>Clip Name Disp in the setup menu.
When a clip name is set with planning metadata,
the name is displayed under the depth of field
indication on the viewfinder screen.
Note
When you define both of ASCII format name and UTF-
8 format name with planning metadata, the UTF-8
format string is used as the clip name string. If you define
either of ASCII format name and UTF-8 format name
with planning metadata, the defined format name is
displayed though it is not selected by menu setting.
Clip name string example
Use a text editor to modify the two fields in the
<Title> tag that contain the clip name strings.
The shaded fields in the example are clip name
strings. “Typhoon” is described in ASCII format
(up to 44 characters). “Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo”
is described in UTF-8 format (up to 44 bytes).
“sp” indicates a space and
3 indicates a carriage
return.
