Syncro Slave Recording - Focus FS-4/ User Manual

Syncro Slave Recording

Synchro slave recording allows you to control FS-4 operation com-
pletely from the video camera.
Make sure the FS-4 is in STOP mode and that the video camera and
the FS-4 are connected. Also make sure that a video tape is in the
camera unless your camera supports tapeless recording. If it does
support tapeless recording, refer to the section, "Setup Screen" on
page 37.
Step 1: From the FS-4 Home screen, press the Right navigation
key several times until the Control Screen appears on the
screen as shown below:
Step 2: Use the Down navigation key to select Synchro Slave.
The dash on the left side of the selection indicates the
current selection. The default value is Local.
Step 3: Press the center Select button on the navigation keys.
The beginning screen returns and a Pause indicator appears in the
upper left-hand corner of the FS-4 screen. Next to this symbol, is a
"Y" indicating that control for both units is from the video camera.
Step 4: You can now use the video camera record controls and
the FS-4 will respond to these controls. The recording
signal goes both to the tape in the camera and to the FS-
4.
NOTE: By selecting EXT TC in the Setup menu, you can
record the camcorder's Timecode in the file.
NOTE: You can also perform these tasks using customized function
keys. For information on setting up function keys, refer to the section,
"Functions Screen" on page 42
