It depends on whether you are running with 'remote control'- if you used
the camera record button to start the recording then it stops with the
end of tape. If you pressed the 'record' button on the FS4 it keeps in
trucking. I have had tape run out, opps! and after 3 seconds pushed the
'record' button on the FS4 to keep going. I'm pretty sure the FS-100
works the same way.
