Recording Video and Photos Setting a Card's Volume Label In CAMERA mode, you can set the volume label for CFexpress cards and SDXC cards used for recording, in order to make it easier to identify and organize them later. 1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Volume Label] > [Canon] or [Canon + Metadata]. 59 2 Initialize the card (A 46). 3 If necessary, set the clip file name's metadata elements (A 59). 4 Record clips on the card. • The card's volume label changes when the first recording is made on a just initialized card. (For SDXC cards only when the first proxy clip is recorded.) Options [Canon]: The volume label of CFexpress and SDXC cards will be "CANON" regardless of the clip file name settings. [Canon + Metadata]: The volume label of CFexpress and SDXC cards will be "CANONX999" where "X" represents the camera index and "999" represents the reel number set in the clip file name's metadata settings. Setting the Clip File Name The camera allows you to change several settings that determine the clip file name of recorded clips. Personalize the clip file name according to your preferences or organizational conventions to create files that are easier to identify and organize. This function can only be used in CAMERA mode. The basic file name structure is as follows. A001C001_yymmddXX_CANON_01P 12 3 4 5 6 7 1 Camera index: One character (A to Z) that identifies the camera 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 clip numbering method. 4 Recording date (set automatically by the camera). 5 Random component: 2 characters (numbers 0 to 9 and capital letters A to Z) that change randomly with each clip. 6 User defined field: 5 characters (numbers 0 to 9 and capital letters A to Z) for any other identification purposes. 7 Proxy clips only*: The camera will automatically add the suffix "_P" to the file name of proxy clips. Additionally, when an SD or SDHC card is used to record proxy clips, a stream number (01 to 99) will be added before the "P". The stream number will advance every time the video (stream) file within the clip is split and recording continues on a separate stream file. * Apart from this component, the file name of the primary clip ( (XF-AVC) will be identical. RAW or XF-AVC, RAW only) and the proxy clip
