Fs30 camcorder record in MP4 format

[Kymberlycg]

Is there a way to change the settings in the FS30 to record in MP4 format?

No.  The User Manual (see page 108 under Recording System) only mentions MPEG-2.

You'll find MPEG-4 and other codecs in newer equipment.  Check individual specs for details.

Thank you for the response. So then how do I change the settings because the mov file is unplayable on my computer

[rs-eos]

What specific computer (Mac? PC?) and operating system are you using? Depending upon that, we can recommend software for working with MPEG-2 footage.

I'm using a Mac 12.6.4

I would first check if QuickTime Player can open the footage.  If you, you can then export it with File | Export As... 

Possible that iMovie may also be able to work with it.

While not free, Apple's Compressor application should be able to work with it.  When I launch that application, I do see help topics for MPEG-2

[Kymberlycg]

I will try that all those options. THANK YOU so very much for your help and your time. I appreciate it greatly!

You might also try handbrake.

[Kymberlycg]

I never heard of that. I'm assuming its software?

Yup, a versatile video converter for the Mac.
