Recording a picture using various features

Developing scenes smoothly

– 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 B

Set the transition curve and duration using

[SHOT TRANS] on the (CAMERA SET) menu. You can use a timer to start the shot transition (p. 59).
