Adjusting the Iris

You can adjust the iris to adjust the brightness.

Adjusting the iris automatically

Adjusting the iris manually

  1. On the iris settings screen (item 4) of the Home screen, select [Manual].
  2. Turn the multi-function dial to adjust the value.

Hint

Temporarily adjusting automatically

Press an assignable button assigned with [Push Auto Iris] to automatically adjust the iris temporarily while the button is pressed.

The iris returns to the previous setting when you release the button.
