Chapter 4 Shooting
To record planning metadata together with
recording clips, you need to load a planning
metadata file into the camcorder’s memory before
starting to shoot.
There are two ways to load files.
• Load a file that has been written to the following
directories on an SxS memory card.
• When a Wi-Fi connection is made between the
camcorder and a computer, operate the Web
menu built in the camcorder from the computer
to transfer a file.
For details on how to use the Web menu to load a
planning metadata file, refer to the Supplement
supplied in the CD-ROM (labeled “Manuals for
Solid-State Memory Camcorder”).
To load a planning metadata file by menu
operation

>Planning Metadata in the setup menu.

memory card slot A or B, and set Load/
Slot(A) or Load/Slot(B) to [Execute].

Note
The file list displays up to 64 files.
Even if the total number of planning metadata files
is 64 or less, all of the planning metadata files may
not appear if the directory where they are located on
the SxS memory card (General/Sony/Planning)
contains 512 or more files.
