and then save it to an SD card. Once you insert the SD card in the camera and select the user memo, it will be
added to clips you record.

NOTES
• After you set a user memo, do not remove SD card B while you are recording. If the SD card is removed, the
user memo will not be added to the clip.
• You must set the user memo before you start recording for it to be added to the clips. You cannot change the user
memo already added to a clip using the camera but you can do so with Canon XF Utility.
