Reactivating the Fade, Scroll and Wipe Effects
You need to activate the fade trigger, scroll and wipe effects each time you wish
to use them.
• When you start or stop recording, the scene will begin or end with the effect.
(Sound and image fade together).
• The display will start to flash again. If you wish to activate it again, press the
DIGITAL EFFECTS button.
Notes:
• You cannot use digital effects when the camera is set to the
[
(Easy
Recording) program.
• You cannot use the fade trigger, scroll and wipe effects when the standby lever
is set to PHOTO (its name flashes purple in the display).
• When you activate the Fade, Scroll or Wipe effect at the beginning of recording
a scene, the camera first clears the screen and then applies the effect.
• The camera remembers your chosen effect until you change it, but when you
switch the POWER switch to
[
(Easy Recording) the digital effect is
deactivated.
1. Select 16:9 from the camera menu and turn the effect ON/OFF.
2. Press the MENU button once more to close the menu.
Notes:
• “16:9” is shown in the display when you switch the 16:9 effect on.
• You cannot use the 16:9 mode with the Easy Recording program.
• If you play back a recording made for 16:9 on a normal TV screen, the image
will appear to be vertically “squashed” (compressed).
• When you take still pictures with the 16:9 effect on, the Clear Still function will
not work.
