Featuring a comprehensive backlit display, an easy-to-use menu system, a built-in hard drive, and a removable, rechargeable battery, the Focus FS-100 is the perfect DTE companion for the Panasonic camcorder. Audio, video, timecode, and control information is passed through a single FireWire cable, allowing you to record directly the the FS-100's internal hard disk. The FS-100 includes a six- or ten-second electronic shock cache to ensure that you never lose footage. Advanced features such as time lapse, retro disk recording, scene marking, and clip categorization make the FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder the perfect companion for handheld shoots. When recording is complete, your footage is ready to edit instantly-no capturing, file transfer, or file conversion is required.

The new FS-100 250GB model offers over 11 hours of recording in 720p24PN mode, 9 hours in 720p25/30PN mode or 4.5 hours in full frame rate 720p/1080i DVCPRO HD mode, setting a new standard for long recording.

The ultra-long continuous record times are now even more economically viable, as our FS-100 250GB offers a stellar 4.5 hours of continuous recording duration at the full DVCPRO HD 100Mbps/60frame data rate. At a recording cost of $11/GB, the FS-100 250GB offers incomparable capacity-to-cost advantage to Panasonic DVCPRO HD P2 camera owners on long format shoots with the added value of supporting both P2 or QuickTime formats for drag-and-drop Final Cut Pro compatibility.
