Note
Using mobile phones and wireless devices near the
recorder may result in recording and playback stops due

To delete clips
You can delete the last recorded clip by using the
[Last Clip DEL] function (page 27). Use the [All

24 Recording
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 recorder, a clip
name is automatically generated according to the
method selected with [Auto Naming] in [Clip]
(page 59) in 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 recorder.
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 modes, 4 GB for FAT/HD mode, and 2
GB for FAT/SD mode.
If you record continuously for an extended period,
the recorded material may be split into multiple
files due to file size restrictions (up to 99 separate
files).
In FAT mode, material that was split into multiple
files will still be treated as a single clip by the
recorder.
A long clip can be recorded crossing over two
memory cards in slot A and B.
When you copy recorded clips to a hard disk drive,
etc. using a computer, it is recommended to
download and use the dedicated application
software (page 10).
Note
If copying is done using "Explorer" (Windows) or
"Finder" (MAC), the continuity and relationships of
recorded materials may not be maintained.
Maximum duration of a clip
The maximum clip length is 24 hours for FAT
(MP4 or AVI) and 6 hours for UDF (MXF) and
exFAT (MXF).
If you exceed the maximum clip length, a new clip
will be automatically created. You can check the
new clip on the thumbnail screen.
