Slow-mo with FS100?

I have worked with the FS100 on a few corporate shoots and now was thinking about buying one but I would like to know if you can do slow-mo with it. My test doing slow-mo did not produce the result I was hoping for. My settings were simple enough,

camera settings; 720/24p, frame rate 36fps, shutter 180deg.
FS100 settings; quicktime 24p, DVCPROHD

After shooting some stuff of myself doing what can only be described as an extreme silly walk I then brought the clips into FCP where they play at their normal speed ie;24fps. Now to get slow-mo with these clips do I play with their speed in FCP or did I miss something?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Variable Frame Rate (VFR) Settings:

The Panasonic AG-HVX200 must be set to standard record mode or 720P mode but not 720PN.

AG-HVX200 Camera Settings:
1. Set SCENE FILE > OPERATION TYPE is set to FILM CAM.
2. Set SCENE FILE > FRAME RATE to the appropriate FPS.
3. Set RECORDING SETUP > UB MODE to FRM.RATE.
4. Set RECORDING SETUP > RECORD FORMAT to:
NTSC: 720/24P or 720/30P.
PAL: 720/25P.


FS-100 Settings:
1. Set DV FORMAT to QUICKTIME PN or P2 PN.
2. Set SETUP-->VFR MODE to the appropriate base frame rate:
Input Stream VFR MODE
720/24P 24
720/25P 25
720/30P 30

Note:
While recording in VFR mode, VF is displayed on the HOME screen below the battery indicator.
FS-100 VFR MODE supports three stream types:
•720/24P and 720/30P on 60 Hz systems.
•720/30P on 50 Hz systems.
Audio is not recorded in VFR recording modes.
VFR settings are supported in the 4.x versions only.

WARNING:
It is critical that the VFR MODE is set properly prior to doing a VFR mode record. This setting is set to OFF whenever the unit is powered down or the DV FORMAT value is changed.
When VFR MODE is set to a value other than OFF, all PN recordings will have the audio MUTED.
 
Yeah, forgot to mention, I have been working with version 3. I see now you fellas are talking about version 4. I went to their website last night and got caught up on the latest. Thanks guys.
