Planning metadata is information about shooting
and recording plans, recorded in an XML file.
Example of a planning metadata file
You can shoot using clip names and shot mark
names defined in advance in a planning metadata
file.
Left slots only are used when loading planning
metadata files from SxS memory cards or writing
planning metadata files to SxS memory cards.
Right slots cannot be used.
The camcorder can display clip names and shot
mark names defined in the following languages.
• English

characters.
Note
If you define clip name and shot mark names in
languages other than the above, they may not be
displayed on the viewfinder screen.
On the viewfinder screen, only alphanumeric characters
and symbols can be displayed.
To record planning metadata together with
recording clips, you need to load a planning
metadata file into the camcorder’s memory before
starting to shoot.
There are two ways to load files.
• Load a file that has been written to the following
directories on an SxS memory card.
• When a Wi-Fi connection is made between the
camcorder and a computer, operate the Web
menu built in the camcorder from the computer
to transfer a file.
For details on how to use the Web menu to load a
planning metadata file, refer to the Supplement
supplied in the CD-ROM (labeled “Manuals for
Solid-State Memory 3D Camcorder”).
To load a planning metadata file by menu
operation
Do the following procedures with OPERAION
>Planning Metadata in the setup menu.

Insert an SxS memory card into the left
memory card slot A or B, and set Load/
Slot(A) or Load/Slot(B) to [Execute].
A file list appears.
Notes
• The right slots cannot be used to load planning
metadata from SxS memory cards.
• The file list displays up to 64 files.
Even if the total number of planning metadata
files is 64 or less, all of the planning metadata
files may not appear if the directory where they
