Fading In and Out Between Scenes

Fade trigger
E
When you start recording, the scene gradually
fades in from a black screen. When you stop
recording, it gradually fades out.
Set the fade trigger each time you wish to use it
(both before you fade in and again before you fade
out).
FADE-T is shown constantly in the viewfinder
when it is ready for use.
Activating the fade trigger
1. Turn the POWER dial to any recording
program (except Easy Recording).
2. Press the D.EFFECT SELECT button to
move through the list of effects in the
viewfinder, until you reach FADE-T.
• The flashing display changes to show which effect you can select.
3. Press the D.EFFECT ON/OFF button to set the fade trigger ready for use.
• FADE-T is shown constantly in the viewfinder.
4. Start or stop recording.
• The fade trigger is now activated — the scene will fade in or out.
• FADE-T then starts to flash again in the viewfinder.
• If you wish to use the fade trigger again, press the D.EFFECT ON/OFF button. If not, you can press
the D.EFFECT SELECT button to select a different digital effect, or to turn the digital effects off
completely by choosing the blank display.
