7) When prompted “DO YOU WANT TO
UPGRADE SYSTEM SOFTWARE?” answer
YES and YES to the warning messages.
WARNING: Upgrade will erase current OS!!
8) After upgrade is complete, power cycle
FS-3. The new software should now
be loaded and ready to use.
If no .bin file is found, the screen
will display “OS UPGRADE ERROR”. It is
necessary to restart your system once an OS
upgrade is complete.
NOTE: If you need to restore the factory default
Operating System, hold down the Forward and
Backward Index keys during boot up.
Timecode Mode
Allows user to select different timecode options
for use when FS-3 is recording. User simply
selects the mode. Highlighted mode is current
mode after exit. Pressing EXIT will exit back to
the menu screen.
EXT TC Mode - Whatever the incoming
DV timecode, FS-3 records it. If the Camcorder
TC is not running, and FS-3 is recording, the
same TC number will be in each frame of DV.
Choosing EXT TC mode will clear any stored
number.
NOTE: If FS-3 is set to EXT TC when in
SYNCRO SLAVE mode, EXT TC will stop
once tape in camcorder ends. Use different
TC mode when using SYNCRO SLAVE.
(TC Preset cannot be changed while in the EXT
TC mode.)
REC RUN Mode - In this mode, FS-3 does the
following:
(1) the last timecode number recorded + 1 will
be used as the timecode number for the first
frame of the next recording.
(2) the number entered by a setting in the TC
PRESET menu will be used for the first frame
of the next recording.
The last number used is stored in the memory,
so this mode persists across recording sessions.
