Planning metadata is information about shooting
and recording plans recorded in an XML file.
You can shoot using clip names and shot mark
names defined in advance in a planning metadata
file.
You can send and receive planning metadata via
a network using the “Content Browser Mobile”
application.
This camcorder can display clip names and shot
mark names defined in the following languages:
• Japanese
• English
• Chinese
• German
• French
• Italian
• Spanish
• Dutch
• Portuguese
• Swedish
• Norwegian
• Danish
• Finnish
Notes
• If you define clip and shot mark names in languages
other than those listed above, they may not be
displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen.
• If you define clip and shot mark names in French,
Dutch, or Finnish, some characters are displayed in a
different but similar font.
To record planning metadata together with clips,
it is necessary to load a planning metadata file
into the camcorder’s memory beforehand.

Insert the memory card with the planning
metadata file (.xml) saved to the directory below
into the camcorder memory card slot, then select
and load the file using Planning Metadata

metadata, the name is displayed under the
operation status indication on the viewfinder
screen.
