Stop-motion without P2?

[LC101]

I have an HVX200 and chose to go with FireStore over a P2 setup. Generally it works better for my purposes. Is there any way for me to do stop-motion animation? From what I see the One Shot mode is only available for P2. Is there anything I can do with FireStore or a DV recorder or connecting the camera directly to a laptop?

Or if I got a P2 card and used it to unlock the P2-only features, could I "trick" the camera into recording to tape so I didn't have to buy a P2 card reader? In my day job as a documentary filmmaker, I have little or no use for P2 and don't want to make a big investment.

Thanks in advance.

The FS-100 has its own interval recording mode, doesn't it? Dig through the FS-100 manual, but I think it'll do what you want.

Yes... FS-100 does interval. You will just begin the recording process via the FS-100 rather than pressing start/stop on the camera. It's in the manual.
