Jack,
I have a Canon XL-1 and am trying to get a used Firestore FS-100 to work with the camera. So far I have not been able to actually get the FS-100 to record in any mode.
What happens is the FS-100 gets the signal from the camera and starts the record mode, but then immediately flashes a “Please wait…” screen and then stops. If it’s in syncro slave mode, this cycle goes on endlessly as long as the camera is recording.
Do I have a defective FS-100, or am I just doing something wrong? I have not found many posts online with people using these two devices together, so I was about ready to chalk it up as incompatibility until I found your post.
Any help would be appreciated.
