Setting the Clip File Name

The camera allows you to change several settings that determine the file name of the recorded clips. Personalize
the clip file name according to your preferences or organizational conventions to create files that are easier to
identify and organize.
The basic file name structure is as follows. When the simultaneous sub recording of XF-AVC Proxy clips is
activated, the file names of the main and sub recording clips will be identical for the most part (components
1 to 6).
A 0 0 1 C 0 0 1 _ y y m m d d X X _ C A N O N _ 0 1 P

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.
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.
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.

to the file name of XF-AVC Proxy clips.
Additionally, when an 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.
