2.0 STOP OUTPUT SETTINGS
The previous CLIP PREVIEW menu item in the SETUP menu has been replaced with the STOP OUTPUT menu. It is now possible to set stop output to one of the following:
CLIP PREVIEW – When CLIP PREVIEW is selected, the camcorder is in VTR mode and the user scrolls from one clip to the next on FS-3 using the index buttons, the first frame of each clip will be generated and showed via the DV output after one second if the user pauses on that clip.
GRAY – When GRAY is selected and FS-3 is in STOP mode, a GRAY splash screen is output via the DV port.
NO OUTPUT – When NO OUTPUT is selected and FS-3 is in STOP mode, there is no signal output via the DV port. For example, if FS-3 is in AV/C CONTROL MODE and is being controlled by a DV device via FireWire such as a DV VTR or a DV converter (such as a Miranda DVC-100 or DVC-800), it is necessary to use the NO OUTPUT setting.
3.0 FORMAT DISK UPDATE
The format disk function on FS-3 has been enhanced. When multiple disk drives are connected (internal and/or external), it is now possible to select which disk you would like to format. When you select FORMAT from the FS-3 UTILITIES menu, you will be asked to confirm which disk you wish to format. To select between available disk drives, press the forward and backward index buttons on the FS-3 front panel (drives are ordered according to when they were formatted. The oldest format will appear as Volume 1).
WARNING: FORMAT ERASES ALL DATA ON THE DISK DRIVE!
Finally, select YES to begin the format process.
