Fader

Fades in/out to a black screen.

Mosaic (Fader)

Gradually turns/returns the picture into/from a mosaic
pattern.

Shutter (Wipe)

A black screen moves in from the top and bottom,
closing over the image like a shutter, or a new image
pushes open the black screen vertically from the centre.

Slide (Wipe)

A black screen moves in from the left to gradually cover
the image, or a new image moves in from right to left.

NOTES:

Pressing and holding the Recording Start/Stop Button
allows you to record a black blank screen or a mosaic
pattern if Mosaic Fader is selected.

The screen becomes slightly reddish when the Fade/
Wipe is used with Sepia (

Z

 pg. 25).

With the Electronic fog filter mode (

Z

 pg. 25) engaged,

when Fader (not Mosaic) is used, the image fades in/out
to a white screen.

Even if you start shooting with the Fade/Wipe indication
displayed during Digital Still Camera Shooting, the Fade/
Wipe does not function.
