EXTERNAL Operation

Tape does not need to be loaded if the camera supports external operation, refer to, CONTROL on page 95.

Troubleshooting: Counter Not Incrementing

If the Counter does not increment while recording the camera, it is an indication that there is no active connection between the FS-5 and the camera.

•Verify that the FS-5 1394 DV I/O and the camera connections are secure. It may be necessary to unplug and then reconnect them.

When a good connection is made, the Counter will increment and recording will start.

•Verify that FS-5 and camera settings are correct.

Verify Record Mode Matches Source Video Content and Format

If in DV Recorder mode, HD content will not record properly. A NTSC or PAL DV source records only on a matching NTSC or PAL unit.
