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 67 to and Repair Clip on page 68.

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 FS­100 and the camera.

•Verify that the FS­100 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 Record Mode Matches Source Video Content and Format

For example, if in DVCPRO/DV Recorder mode, DVCPROHD or DVCPRO50 content will not record properly. A NTSC or PAL DV source records only when the unit is set to the correct video format.

Short Delay When Switching from VTR to Camera Mode

When switching a camcorder from VTR to camera mode, there is a short (10­20 seconds) interval while the FS­100 re­establishes communications with the camcorder. If recording is started during this period, recording is delayed until the FS­100 finishes establishing communications with the camcorder.

The FS­100 will NOT record a new clip if there are approximately two minutes, or less, space remaining on the internal disk drive.
