Recording Video and Photos Using the Fan The camcorder uses an internal cooling fan to reduce the camcorder's internal heat. 1 Select [Fan]. 42 > [B ! System Setup] > [Fan] 2 Touch the desired option and then touch [X]. Options [k Automatic]: The fan runs while the camcorder is not recording and it is automatically turned off while the camcorder is recording video (while the Ü icon appears at the top of the screen). However, if the internal temperature of the camcorder is too high, the fan will be activated automatically (in that case, ` will appear next to the b icon). When the camcorder's temperature has decreased sufficiently, the fan will be turned off. Use this setting when you do not want the camcorder to pick up the fan's operating sound. [i On]: The fan runs at all times. Use this default setting in most cases. IMPORTANT • While the fan is running, the exhaust vent will emit warm air. • Be careful not to obstruct in any way the fan's air vents (A 13). Setting the File Name for XF-AVC Clips The camcorder allows you to change several settings that determine the file name of XF-AVC clips. Personalize the clip file name according to your preferences or organizational conventions to create files that are easier to identify and organize. Operating modes: The basic file name structure is as follows. A001C001_yymmddXX_CANON_01 12 3 4 5 6 7 1 Camera index: One character (A to Z) that identifies the camcorder 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 camcorder). 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 When an SD or SDHC card is used to record clips, a stream number (01 to 99) will be added to the file name. The stream number will advance every time the video (stream) file within the clip is split and recording continues on a separate stream file.
