Clip metadata

You can add the video and audio systems, name of the videographer, shooting location, text memos and other information to the video data you have recorded on the SD Memory Card. This data is called the clip metadata.

(Display method: Page 38)

There are two kinds of clip metadata: the data that is recorded automatically during shooting, and the data in the metadata upload file created on the SD Memory Card which is loaded in the unit.
