Options
[k Automatic]: The fan runs while the camcorder is not recording and it is automatically turned off while the
camcorder is recording video (while the
the internal temperature of the camcorder is too high, the fan will be activated automatically (in
that case, ` will appear next to the b icon). When the camcorder's temperature has
decreased sufficiently, the fan will be turned off. Use this setting when you do not want the
camcorder to pick up the fan's operating sound.

The fan runs at all times. Use this default setting in most cases.
IMPORTANT
• While the fan is running, the exhaust vent will emit warm air.
• Be careful not to obstruct in any way the fan's air vents (A 13).
Setting the File Name for XF-AVC Clips
The camcorder allows you to change several settings that determine the file name of XF-AVC clips. Personalize
the clip file name according to your preferences or organizational conventions to create files that are easier to
identify and organize.
Operating modes:
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

identifies the camcorder 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

7 When an SD or SDHC card is used to record
clips, a stream number (01 to 99) will be added to
the file name. The stream number will advance
every time the video (stream) file within the clip is
split and recording continues on a separate
stream file.
