[RECORDING] menu

Sets the various items in the recording function.

[FORMAT MEDIA]

Formats the memory card in the specified card slot. Data deleted as a result of formatting cannot be restored. Always confirm the data before formatting.

The items that can be selected are as follows.

  • [SLOT1], [SLOT2]

[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.

(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
