Wiping away a still picture

When you switch from one scene to another, you can wipe away the still picture. With this function, the first still picture is wiped away from the center to reveal the moving picture underneath.

You can hear the sound of the second scene as you start recording the second scene.

(1) While the camcorder is in Standby mode, press FADER/OVERLAP repeatedly so that the WIPE indicator appears in the viewfinder.

(2) Press START/STOP to record the next scene. The WIPE indicator disappears after wiping away.
