Setting the Shot ID
You can set a shot ID of up to 12 alphanumeric characters,
spaces, and symbols. When the OUTPUT/DCC switch is
set to BARS, DCC OFF, this shot ID is output with the
color bar signal. Four shot IDs are available, ID-1 to ID-4,
and you can select the shot ID to be recorded superimposed
