preview, carry out the operation which depends on the mode, and press the
[TRANS PVW] button, turning it off.
Lock: Toggling the [TRANS PVW] button on and off switches between the
transition preview mode and the normal mode.
Hold: The preview mode obtains only while the [TRANS PVW] button is held
down.
One Time: Each time a transition ends, it reverts to the normal mode.
