Clip metadata (AVCHD mode only)

You can add the video and audio formats, name of the videographer, shooting location, text memos, and other information to the video data you have recorded on the memory card. This data is called the clip metadata. (For display method, see page 64.)

There are two types of clip metadata: the data that is recorded automatically during shooting, and the data in the metadata upload file created on the memory card which is loaded in the camera. (For the clip metadata loading method, see page 49.)
