File Naming System - Sony SR-R4 Operation Manual

File Naming System

When "FILENAME" is set to "CAMERA" mode
under "FILE LIST" of the SYSTEM Setup menu,
the files created during recording will be named
using the following naming system.
Example:
D003C004_120325E5
1 2 3
1 Camera ID
The camera ID configured in "CAMERA ID"
under "FILE LIST" of the SYSTEM Setup menu.
2 Reel number
The reel number configured in "REEL NO."
under "FILE LIST" of the SYSTEM Setup menu.
If you change only the camera ID setting, the reel
number will be changed to "001."
3 Shot Number
A sequentially assigned shot number starting with
"001." If the shot number reaches "999," the letter
at the front of the number changes to the next
letter in the alphabet. For example, "C999" will
be followed by "D001."
4 Date
The shooting date (year, month, day) of the file.
5 Random characters
A random pair of characters (0 to 9, A to Z).
Tips
• If a file that was recorded in "CAMERA" mode exists
on the inserted SRMemory card, subsequent file names
will continue from the existing files.
Example: If the "B002C003_XXXXXXXX" exists on
the SRMemory card
The next file that is created will be named
"B002C004_XXXXXXXX." In this case, the
camera ID setting for the control panel will change
to "B" and the reel number setting will change to
"002."
"(NEXT) file name" also blinks in the operation
status and warning indicator if the camera ID and
reel number differ from those of the control panel.

• If a blank SRMemory card is inserted, the reel number
will increase by one from the last recorded file.
Example: If recording is performed on a blank card
after recording up to "D001CXXX_XXXXXXXX" on
the previously inserted card
The next recorded file will be named
"D002C001_XXXXXXXX."
When you display the system, encoding, or file
name on the HOME screen while recording is
paused, the name of the file that will be created next
will flash on the screen.
• If you change the control panel settings, those settings
will be applied.
Example: If you change the camera ID and reel number
settings from the control panel for an SRMemory card
containing files up to "E003CXXX_XXXXXXXX"
If you change the camera ID to "F" and the reel
number to "001," the next recorded file will be
named "F001CXXX_XXXXXXXX." If you
change only the camera ID setting, the reel number
will change to "001."
