Shot Transition

 

 

The Shot Transition function helps you to easily

 

 

obtain complex picture effects by registering

 

 

camera settings or conditions as a “shot” to be

 

 

reproduced in a recording sequence.

 

 

Your settings for focus, zoom, iris, gain, shutter

 

 

speed, white balance, color matrix, and detail

 

 

level can be registered in combination in one shot,

 

Recording

 

and you can change the current camera settings to

 

smooth transition of scenes.

 

 

those of the shot, or the settings reproduced from

 

 

one shot to those of another Shot, resulting in a

 

 

For example, you can shift the focus from a closer

 

 

object to a farther object, 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 for white balance, the scenes

 

 

will develop smoothly between objects indoors

 

 

and those outdoors.

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

 

 

• Shot transition cannot be activated in
