1 Camera index: One character (A to Z) that
identifies the camera used.
2 Reel number: 3 characters (001 to 999) that
identify the recording media used.
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.
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 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.
