the IR sensor on FS-3. User simply selects the Menu
Item. Highlighted mode is current mode after exit.

This menu allows the user to change the setting of
the GPI port. User simply selects the Mode.
Highlighted mode is current mode after exit.

DISABLE allows user to connect the supplied
3.5mm to DB9 cable to the GPI port and control
FS-3 via RS232C from an external device.
The remaining three items allow functions to
occur from a simple contact closure. Modes are
PAUSE/UNPAUSE (allows control of pause and
unpause during a record or playback session),
INDEX (NEW FILE) (allows a new file to be
created during a record session without losing any
frames) and REC SNAPSHOT (allows a single
frame of video to be recorded to a file. Each
sequential trigger in this mode will add another
frame to the same file until stopped).
LCD Backlight Settings
This menu allows the user to enable or disable
the FS-3 LCD back-light. Highlighted state is
current after exit. Pressing EXIT will exit back
to the menu screen.
The ON setting will keep the back-light on
permanently while the OFF setting will keep
the back-light off permanently. AUTO OFF
will turn off the back light after one minute.
Pressing any keypad button on FS-3 will turn
the back-light back on in AUTO OFF state.
This setting is advisable in high temperature
environments and also to reduce power
consumption.
Clip Preview Settings
This menu allows the user to select CLIP
PREVIEW ON or OFF. When CLIP PREVIEW
is ON, the camcorder is in VTR mode and the
user scrolls from one clip to the next on FS-3
using the buttons, the first frame of each clip
will be generated and showed via DV output
after one second if the user pauses on
that clip.
