name.
When neither the ASCII format name string nor UTF-
8-format name string is valid, a clip name in the
standard format is used.
Using a clip name defined in planning metadata
Load a planning metadata file that contains the
clip name into the memory of the camcorder, then
select Clip Naming (page 106) >Auto Naming
>Plan in the Media menu.
Clip names are generated by adding an
underscore (_) and a 5-digit serial number (00001
to 99999).
Example: Typhoon_Strikes_00001,
Typhoon_Strikes_00002, ...
Notes
• If the serial number reaches 99999, it returns to 00001
upon the next recording.
• When you load another planning metadata file, the 5-
digit serial number returns to 00001.

Positioning
• GPS is set to On by default. Location and time
information of video shot when positioning is
enabled is recorded by the camcorder. To stop
recording of information, set GPS to Off.
• It may take time to start positioning after
turning the camcorder on.
• If a positioning icon is not displayed after
several minutes, there may be a problem with
signal reception. Start shooting without location
information, or move to an area with a clear
view of the sky. Shooting when a positioning
icon is not displayed means that location
information will not be recorded.
• The GPS signal may not be received when
indoors or near tall structures. Move to a
location with a clear view of the sky.
• The recording of location information may be
interrupted, depending on the strength of the
received signal, even if a positioning icon is
displayed.
