FOCUS Enhancements FS-3 - Manual (Page 28)

REGEN Mode - After a disk is mounted
(at startup, upon manual connect) and
after the track list has been constructed,
FS-3 looks at the last track and looks at the
timecode number of the last frame in that track.
FS-3 stores that number for use as the TC value
(+ 1) for the first frame of the next recording.
If the drive is empty, FS-3 uses the value (+ 1)
stored in memory.
FREE RUN Mode - When the user
enables FREE RUN mode, FS-3 begins
counting from the value stored. If the user uses
the TC PRESET function, when the number is
entered and the TC PRESET menu is exited,
FS-3 begins counting.
NOTE: When the FS-3 timecode
mode is set to EXT TC and the camcorder time
code mode is set to PRST/REC or REGEN, it is
not possible to record timecode continuously
when recording to disk only. Set the FS-3
timecode mode to REGEN, REC RUN or
FREE RUN (not EXT TC) when recording to
disk only.
