Setting a User Memo Using Browser Remote

After completing the necessary preparations (A182), you can create a user memo profile and transfer it to the camcorder from a connected device using the Browser Remote application. Using the Browser Remote application you have two additional advantages over user memos created with Canon XF Utility: you can change the user memo of the last clip recorded, even if you did not specify a user memo in advance; and you can enter manually the GPS information of your shooting location as long as the optional GP-E2 GPS receiver is not connected to the camcorder.

1 Press the [Metadata Input] tab on the Browser Remote screen.

•Alternatively, on the camcorder, you can set [wOther Functions] >[MXF] >[Set Metadata] >[Setting] to [Remote].
