Sony HVR-Z7U Using the Shot transition, [60sec], [20sec], started, started, REC LINK, [4.0sec]), TRANS TIME, ZOOM TRANS, IRIS TRANS, START TIMER, FOCUS TRANS

Using the Shot transition

You can store settings of focus, zoom, iris, gain, shutter speed and white balance, and smoothly shift from the current settings to the stored settings (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. You can also develop scenes under different conditions smoothly. If you store manually adjusted settings of white balance, you can smoothly shift from one scene to another under different conditions, such as from indoor to outdoor.

Sony recommends that you use a tripod to avoid image blurring.You can set the following items in [SHOTTRANSITION] of the (CAMERA SET) menu (p. 73).
