Record With the FS-100
There are four modes of recording with the FS-100.
• Local
Control with the FS-100 transport buttons.
• Syncro Slave
Use this mode with camcorders that do not have FS-100
compatible external control or tapeless trigger functionality.
In this mode, the FS-100 watches the record status of the
camcorder and replicates its actions. A tape must be in the
camcorder for this mode to function.
• AV/C
AV/C is utilized in
PLAYBACK
and other situations where the
FS-100 is controlled by an external FireWire device, such as a
DV NLE system.
• Tapeless
This is the recommended control mode for use with
companion camcorder, the Panasonic AG-HVX200. Control
recording with camcorders that have FS-100 compatible
external control or tapeless trigger capabilities.
Before beginning recording, verify that:
1.
Time and date are set.
2.
Recording format is set.
3.
The FS-100 is connected to the video camera according to the
Connecting a FS-100 to a DV/HD Camcorder
4.
Camera and FS-100 are powered on.
5.
Tape is loaded in the camera.
Do Not Use AV/C In FS-100 RECORD MODES.
Tapeless Control
If the camcorder supports Tapeless control function, tapeless
recording is possible. Otherwise, the FS-100 control panel keys must
be used to control recording in LOCAL control mode when there is no
tape in the camcorder. For a list of compatible camcorders, go to
