User set string
Specify the character string to be included in the folder and file names for the saved video files. You can specify up to two single-byte alphanumeric characters.
In the "\MOVIE" folder, a folder named with the specified string is created for the saved files.
The file name is the user-defined string (two characters) + time stamp.
(For example, if the user-defined string is "MC", the date is May 27, 2006, and the time is 15:23:46, then the file name is "MC060527_152346.SDX".
