Setting the Clip File Name
The camera allows you to change several settings that determine the clip file name of recorded RAW and 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.
Operating modes:
The basic file name structure for RAW and XF-AVC clips is as follows. When recording a proxy clip with a RAW
clip, the proxy clip's file name depends on the proxy clip's format. For XF-AVC proxy clips, the file names of the
primary and proxy clips will be almost identical (components 1 to 6). For MP4 proxy clips, the file names will
differ, as the proxy clip will follow the naming convention for MP4 files (A 62).

1 Camera index: One character (A to Z) that
identifies the camera used.
2 Reel number: 3 characters (001 to 999) that
identify the recording media 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 camera).

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 The camera will automatically add the suffix "_P"
to the file name of XF-AVC proxy clips.
Additionally, when an SD/SDHC card is used to
record XF-AVC proxy clips, a stream number (01
to 99) will be added before the "P". The stream
number will advance every time the video (stream)
file within the clip is split and recording continues
on a separate stream file.
