The camcorder is in the photo recording.

A title is displayed on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. If the title is not necessary, erase it before using the fader function.

During fading, you cannot operate the DIGITAL EFFECT button.

The fader function is effective in the following situations

•A big change of scene (FADE IN, FADE OUT) •The beginning of a story (FADE IN)

•The end of a day (FADE OUT)

•Change the scene while leaving the trace of the previous scene

If you use the fader function repeatedly

The situation the subject is in cannot be seen clearly, thus making the picture difficult to enjoy.

When the OVERLAP indicator appears

The camcorder automatically memorizes the image recorded on a tape. As the image is being memorized, the OVERLAP indicator flashes fast, and the playback picture is displayed. At this stage, the picture may not be recorded clearly, depending on the tape condition.
