The timecode display flashed or stopped during a recording. What could cause this to happen?
There are a few reasons why the timecode counter could stop: 1. The DV stream has been interrupted, either because the camera stopped sending or the cable connection was broken. Be especially suspicious of the 4-pin firewire connector/connection because 4-pin firewire cable connections are small and tend to be more fragile than some other connector types. 2. The camera sent a stop command, for example the FS4 was in synchro mode and the record button was pushed on the camera, pausing the FS-4. 3. If it always happens after a disk format at about the same amount of recording time, there could be a bad spot on the FS-4 hard disk. But if it happens at random times, this would not be the issue.
