Fader Function; Preparatory Settings - Sony PMW-EX3 Operating Instructions Manual

Fader Function

Using the Fader function, you can start a
recording by fading in a scene or end a recording
by fading out of a scene.
The fader function can be assigned to an
assignable button.
For function assignment, see "Changing Functions
of the Assignable Buttons" on page 76.
Notes
• The fader function cannot be used in
combination with the Slow & Quick Motion,
Interval Recording, Frame Recording, or EX
Slow Shutter function.
• When a clip is recorded using the fade-in
function, a white or black screen becomes the
index frame on the thumbnail screen (page 98).
Change the index frame for easier
identification.
• When you perform recording on an external
device connected via the i.LINK(HDV)
connector in synchronization with REC
START/STOP operations on this camcorder,
recording start/stop on the external device and
fade-in start/fade-out end may not be
synchronized, depending on the performance of
the external device.
