The FS-3 buttons (other than MENU, DISP and SHFT) are locked out when in this mode, as is wired or infrared remote control units. If in VTR mode on the camcorder, all keys work. The user is only able to exit SYNCRO SLAVE by entering the CONTROL MENU which they can do directly by pressing the MENU button when on the FS-3 default splash screen.
