Frame Recording function
Frame Recording is a unique feature of the PMW-
EX3 camcorder that is especially useful for clay-
animation shooting. With this function, images 
for pre-determined frame are recorded each time 
the record button is pressed.
Shutter-angle settings
In addition to the electric shutter speed controls, 
the PMW-EX3 also has a “shutter angle” control, 
which is familiar to cinematographers.
Picture Profile feature
The Picture Profile feature allows the camera 
operator to easily call up customized picture-
tonal settings to suit particular shooting 
conditions.
Shot Transition function
The Shot Transition function allows for smooth 
automatic scene transitions. The operator can 
program start and end settings for zoom, focus, 
and white balance into the A and B buttons, and 
with a press of the Start button a smooth transition 
will take place according to the set time.
