On FS-3, files are identified by TRACK and VOLUME (disk drive) number on the LCD. For instance, a file on the FS-3 LCD identified as 1-043 is clip number 43 on Volume (disk) 1.

On a computer, files are identified by their base file name made up of DATE and TIME. For instance, a clip named 20030615-210943- 01.mov is a clip that began recording at 9:09:43PM on June 15th. 2003.

NOTE: DATE/TIME is used when creating File name only. FS-3 does not record this information into the stream. FS-3 records DATE/TIME which is in the DV stream which is sent from the camcorder.
