HVX200 & FS-100 Settings...

[kryptics]

Same thing is happening to me...

Can someone post up the correct settings for the HVX200 and FS-100?

I would like to record 1080i/24PA, please explain this to me as if i just opened my HVX200, cuz I'm wasting so much time trying to figure this out...

Camera Settings: ? (which dial) and any those settings

FS-100 Settings: ?

I would REALLY REALLY appreciate this - thanks all in advance for your help...

Well if anyone cares...

First and for most flip the switch in the back of the camera from tape to P2...

Necessary settings on the HVX200 (you only get these settings when you flip the switch):

Menu > 9. OTHER FUNCTIONS
Set 1394 Control to EXT
Set 1394 CMD SEL to REC_P
Set PC MODE to 1394DEVICE
Menu > 5. RECORDING SETUP
REC FORMAT P2 > set this to the format you wish to record your footage in.
Alternative frame rates are only available in any of the 720p modes.

To set an alternative frame rate to get fast or slow motion effects frame accurate:
Menu > 1. SCENE FILE
OPERATION TYPE must be set to FILM CAM

FRAME RATE can be set to whatever speed you wish to use.
For an explanation on how alternative frame rates are used, please refer to:

Necessary settings on the FS-100:
Using the right arrow key to move through the menus, verify the following settings-
RECORD set to NORMAL
HDD MODE set to one of the following DVCPROHD modes
DVCPROHD REC (for all DVCPRO-HD formats)
DVCPRO50 REC (for DVCPRO-50 format)
DVCPRO/DV REC (for normal DV format)

DV FORMATS set to P2

SETUP menu should have the following options enabled by scrolling down the menu, highlighting the
option, then pressing the SELECT button to place a hyphen in front of the option.
STOP NO VIDEO
EXT CTL OFF
TC EXT
TC NON-DROP
