Types of Playback Effects
OVERLAP: A still image fades out as the
next image fades in, replacing the
previous image. The two scenes momen-
tarily dissolve.
WIPE: A still image is replaced with the next
image first appearing in the middle of the
screen and gradually expanding to fill the
screen.
Preparation
Plan the scene transition, and record still
images with the still recording function in TAPE-
CAMERA mode (see pages 35 and 36).
Notes:
• You can use playback effects for a transition
from a still image to a moving image.
• Record images for 6 seconds or longer. An
image recorded for less than 6 seconds may not
dissolve properly.
