FOCUS Enhancements MANL-1023-08 instruction

Quickstart

Do Not Disconnect Power or FireWire Cable

Never disconnect the power or the FireWire cable during a recording. This will cause file corruption.

Loss of Power During Recording

If power is lost during recording it is possible to repair the damaged file or files, refer Repair Disk on page 75 to and

Repair Clip on page 76.

Troubleshooting: Counter Not Incrementing

If the Counter does not increment while recording from the camera, it is an indication that there is no active connection between the FS-100 and the camera.

•Verify that the FS-100 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 increments and recording starts.

Verify FS-100 and Camcorder are the Same Video Standard

For example, a NTSC or PAL DV source records only on a matching NTSC or PAL unit.
