last four characters are new serial numbers.
Example: When the name of a newly recorded
clip would be EFGH0100, and a clip named
ABCD0002 is divided, the names of the two
newly created clips are ABCD0100 and
ABCD0101.
Note
When there is not enough remaining capacity on the SxS
memory cards to store the divided clips, a message
appears to inform you that there is not enough capacity.
