Setting the File Name for Recordings
This section explains how to set the file names for XF-AVC clips, MP4 clips and photos.
XF-AVC Clips File Names
The camera allows you to change several settings that determine the clip file name of recorded XF-AVC clips (only in
CAMERA mode). For more details on how to enter characters, see
The basic file name structure is as follows.
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 card used. The number is assigned
automatically but you can set the initial number.
After you insert a new card (just purchased or
initialized), the number advances by one when the
first recording is made.
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 and select the
clip numbering method.
4 Recording date (set automatically by the camera).
• Apart from the suffix "_P" in component number 7, the file name of the primary clip and the proxy clip will be
identical.
• Apart from component number 2, the file name of the primary clip and the sub recording clip will be identical.
• The file name of double slot recording clips will be the same on both SD cards.
• Apart from the .WAV extension, the file name of the WAV files recorded during slow & fast motion recording or
the second card recording functions will be the same as that of the main clip, and will be saved on the
"/PRIVATE/AUDIO" folder.

5 Random component: 2 characters (numbers 0 to
9 and capital letters A to Z) that change randomly
with each clip.
6 User defined field: 5 characters (numbers 0 to 9
and capital letters A to Z) for any other
identification purposes.
7 Proxy clips only: The camera will automatically
add the suffix "_P" to the file name of proxy clips.
Additionally, when an SD or SDHC card is used to
record 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.
