Assigning the functions to the ASSIGN buttons (Continued)

zTip

If you press the ASSIGN button again during the last scene review, your camcorder plays back the last 5 seconds of the most recently recorded movie, then goes to standby at the end of the recording.

Using the Shot transition

You can register the settings of focus, zoom, iris, gain, shutter speed, and white balance, and then change the recording setting from the current one to the registered one, resulting in a smooth transition of scenes (Shot transition).

For example, you can shift the focus from closer objects to farther objects, or change the depth of field by adjusting the iris. In addition, you can develop scenes under different recording conditions smoothly. If you register the manual adjustment function of the white balance, the scenes will develop smoothly between objects indoor and those outdoor.

Use a tripod to avoid camera-shake. SHOT-ASHOT-B You can set the transition curve and duration etc. using [SHOT TRANS] (p. 65).ASSIGN button1-3
