to the recorded clips. You can use Canon XF Utility to check and search for specific metadata. You can also
create and transfer a user memo remotely using Browser Remote on a connected network device (A 172,

Setting a User Memo Created with Canon XF Utility

Before you can add a user memo, you must first install Canon XF Utility (A 152). Next, create the user memo
and then save it to an SD card. Once you insert the SD card in the camera and select the user memo, it will be
added to clips you record.
1 Use Canon XF Utility to save a user memo to an SD card.
• For details, refer to Managing User Memo Profiles
2 Insert the SD card into the camera's SD card slot.
3 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Metadata] > [Setting] > [SD Card].
4 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Metadata] > [User Memo] > Desired user memo file.
• The Q icon appears on the left of the screen.
• Select [Off] to record clips without a user memo.
NOTES NOTES
• After you set a user memo, do not remove the SD card while you are recording. If the SD card is removed, the
user memo will not be added to the clip.
• You must set the user memo before you start recording for it to be added to the clips. You cannot change the user
memo already added to a clip using the camera but you can do so with Canon XF Utility.
