# [RECORDING] menu

Sets the various items in the recording function.

## [FORMAT MEDIA]

## [CLIP NAME]

### [CAM INDEX]

Sets the CAM INDEX used in the name for the MOV format file to be recorded. Set one upper case alphabetical character. This is used as a value to be stored in the volume label of the memory card.

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [A]…[Z]

(Factory setting: [A])

### [NEXT CARD COUNT]

Sets the CARD COUNT used in the name for the MOV format file to be recorded. In the following cases, the setting value in [NEXT CARD COUNT] is stored in the volume label of the memory card together with the [CAM INDEX] setting value as CARD COUNT. Also, the setting value will increase one after storing. ([001] returns after [999])

- When formatted the memory card

- When recorded to the memory card where CARD COUNT is not stored in the volume label

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [001]…[999]
