Recording
5 Select “Execute.”
Loading of the selected planning metadata
file begins.
When loading ends, the completion message is
displayed for three seconds.
Notes
After you start loading, do not remove the SxS
memory card until the completion message is
displayed.
The loaded planning metadata file is retained
even if the power of the camcorder is turned off
and turned back on again. However, if you start
recording immediately after the power is turned
on, the contents of the planning metadata may
not be applied to the clip, because the
camcorder gives priority to starting recording.
Confirming the detailed information in
planning metadata
After loading a planning metadata file into
memory of the camcorder, you can check the
details of the file, such as the filename, time and
date of file creation, and the titles specified in the
file.

of the OTHERS menu.
2 Select “Execute.”
The PLANNING METADATA
PROPERTIES (planning metadata detailed
information) screen appears.
The following information is displayed:
a) Material group: A group of clips recorded using
the same planning metadata.
Use the jog dial to scroll the display.
To display the file name, assignment ID or clip
name on the full screen
When you select “File Name,” “Assign ID,”
“Title1,” or “Title2” on the PLANNING
METADATA PROPERTIES screen then press
the jog dial, the selected item is displayed on the
full screen. This permits you to check a long file
or clip name at a glance.
Press the jog dial again to return to the
PLANNING METADATA PROPERTIES
screen.
Note
Names of shot marks cannot be displayed on the
full screen even if you select Shot Mark1 or Shot
