To delete clips
You can delete the last recorded clip by using the

Clips DEL function (page 53) to delete all
recorded clips from an SxS memory card. To
specify a clip to be deleted, operate the camcorder
from the thumbnail screen (page 79).
Clip (recording data)
When you stop recording, video, audio and
subsidiary data from the start to end of the
recording are recorded as a single clip on an
SxS memory card.
Clip name
For each clip recorded with this camcorder, a
clip name is automatically generated according
to the method selected with "Auto Naming" in
"Clip" (page 122) of the OTHERS menu.
The default setting of "Auto Naming" is "Plan."
With this setting, a clip name defined in
planning metadata is applied if a planning
metadata file is loaded into the camcorder.
Change the "Auto Naming" setting to "Title" to
apply a clip name composed of 4 to 46
alphanumerics and 4 numerics.
Example: ABCD0001
The block of 4 to 46 alphanumerics can be
specified as desired using "Clip" in the
OTHERS menu before you start recording. (It
cannot be changed after recording.)
The value of the 4 numerics is automatically
counted up in sequence.
Notes on Clips
The maximum file size for a clip is 43 GB for
UDF and exFAT, 4 GB for FAT HD Mode, and
2 GB for FAT SD Mode. If you continue
recording for an extended period, recorded
materials may be segmented into multiple files,
depending on the file size (the maximum
number of partitions is 99). The camcorder
regards continuous recording as one clip even if
it has been segmented into multiple files in FAT
mode.
