characters.
Note
If you define clip name and shot mark names in
languages other than the above, they may not be
displayed on the viewfinder screen or the LCD monitor
screen (with the display mode set to STATUS).
In the LCD monitor (with the display mode set to
STATUS), only alphanumeric characters and symbols
can be displayed.
To record planning metadata together with
recording clips, you need to load a planning
metadata file into the camcorder’s memory before
starting to shoot.
There are two ways to load files.
• Load a file that has been written to the following
directories on an SxS memory card or a USB
flash drive.
• When a Wi-Fi connection is made between the
camcorder and a computer, operate the Web
menu built in the camcorder from the computer
to transfer a file.
For details on how to use the Web menu to load
a planning metadata file, refer to the
Supplement supplied in the CD-ROM (labeled
“Manuals for Solid-State Memory
Camcorder”).
To load a planning metadata file by menu
operation
Do the following procedures with OPERAION
>Planning Metadata in the setup menu.
To load a file in an SxS memory card
1 Insert an SxS memory card into the
memory card slot A or B, and set Load/
Slot(A) or Load/Slot(B) to [Execute].
A file list appears.
Note
The file list displays up to 64 files.
Even if the total number of planning metadata files
is 64 or less, all of the planning metadata files may
not appear if the directory where they are located on
the SxS memory card (General/Sony/Planning)
contains 512 or more files.
