This function can only be used in CAMERA mode.The basic file name structure is as follows.* Apart from this component, the file name of the primary clip (RAW) and the proxy clip (XF-AVC) will be identical.A 0 0 1 C 0 0 1 _ y y m m d d X X _ C A N O N _ 0 1 P1 2 3 4 6 751 Camera index: One character (A to Z) thatidentifies the camera used.2 Reel number: 3 characters (001 to 999) thatidentify the card used. The number is assignedautomatically but you can set the initial number.After you insert a new card (just purchased orinitialized), the number advances by one when thefirst recording is made.3 Clip number: 4 characters (C001 to D999). Theclip number advances automatically with eachclip recorded (switching to D001 after C999), butyou can set the initial clip number and select theclip numbering method.4 Recording date (set automatically by the camera).5 Random component: 2 characters (numbers 0 to9 and capital letters A to Z) that change randomlywith each clip.6 User defined field: 5 characters (numbers 0 to 9and capital letters A to Z) for any otheridentification purposes.7 Proxy clips only*: The camera will automaticallyadd the suffix “_P” to the file name of proxy clips.Additionally, when an SD or SDHC card is used torecord proxy clips, a stream number (01 to 99) willbe added before the “P”. The stream number willadvance every time the video (stream) file withinthe clip is split and recording continues on aseparate stream file.
