Setting the Camera Mode Setting the Camera Mode The camera offers the following camera modes. With camera modes other than [Manual], the ND filter (A 41) and white balance (A 42) are adjusted automatically by default. You can change the menu settings to allow you to control them manually. 34 [Auto]: The camera controls the exposure by automatically adjusting the aperture, gain and shutter speed.
Adjusting Main Camera Functions with the Joystick Adjusting Main Camera Functions with the Joystick Using only the joystick, you can adjust the following main camera functions. Note that some of the functions cannot be adjusted manually when the camera mode is set to [Auto]. • Camera mode (A 34) • Aperture (A 36) • Gain (A 39) • Shutter speed (A 40) • ND filter (A 41) • White balance (A 42) This section will explain the basics of how to adjust the functions.
Adjusting the Aperture Adjusting the Aperture The camera offers the following two ways to adjust the aperture but available aperture values will vary depending on the lens attached. Manual aperture: Adjust the aperture value manually using the joystick. Available when the camera mode is set to [Av], [AGC] or [Manual]. 36 Push Auto Iris: Momentary automatic aperture. Press a button to temporarily adjust the aperture automatically. Available only when the camera mode is set to [Manual].
Adjusting the Aperture • When using an EF lens that can correct the aperture value according to the position of the zoom*, you can use the [Camera Setup] > [Zoom-Iris Correct.] setting to activate this correction. • When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can adjust the aperture with the remote controller’s IRIS dial. At default settings, turn the dial right to open up the aperture and left to close the aperture.
Adjusting the Aperture NOTES • If you set an assignable button to [AE Shift +] or [AE Shift –] (A 54), you can press the button to adjust the AE shift level. • You cannot use push auto iris and adjust the AE shift level at the same time. 38 Light Metering Mode Select the light metering mode to match the shooting conditions.
Gain Gain When the camera mode is set to [Manual], you can manually adjust the gain to change the brightness of the image. In other camera modes the camera will automatically adjust the gain. In such case, you can set an automatic gain control (AGC) limit to prevent the camera from using gain values above the preset limit. 39 Manual Adjustment 1 Set the camera mode to [Manual] (A 34). 2 Press SET. • One of the adjustable settings will be highlighted in orange on the screen.
Shutter Speed Shutter Speed Set the shutter speed based on shooting conditions. For example, you may want to set slower shutter speeds for darker environments. 1 Set the camera mode to [Manual], [Tv] or [AGC] (A 34). 2 Press SET. 40 • One of the adjustable settings will be highlighted in orange on the screen. 3 Push the joystick left/right to select the current shutter speed value. 4 Push the joystick up/down to select the desired value and then press SET.
ND Filter ND Filter Using the ND filter allows you to open up the aperture to obtain a shallower depth of field even when shooting in bright surroundings. You can also use the ND filter to avoid the soft focus caused by diffraction when using small apertures. 1 If the camera mode is set to a mode other than [Manual], change the ND mode setting to adjust the ND filter manually. [Camera Setup] > [ND Mode] > [Manual] 2 Close the menu and then press SET.
White Balance White Balance The camera uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and produce accurate colors under different lighting conditions. There are 4 methods of setting the white balance. Auto white balance (AWB): The camera automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level. 42 Custom white balance: You can use a gray card or white object with no pattern to establish the white balance and save it to one of two custom white balance settings, [WB-A] or [WB-B].
White Balance Custom White Balance 1 Press SET. • One of the adjustable settings will be highlighted in orange on the screen. 2 Push the joystick left/right to select the current white balance setting. 3 Push the joystick up/down to select [WB-A] or [WB-B] and then press SET. • If a custom white balance has been stored previously, pressing the joystick will apply the stored custom white balance. You do not need to perform the rest of the procedure.
White Balance 5 Push the joystick up/down to change the color temperature or adjustment value and then press SET.
Adjusting the Focus Adjusting the Focus The camera offers the following ways to focus. The ME200S-SH camera also incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology for advanced autofocus performance. See also the general notes at the end of this section (A 49). Manual focus: Turn the focus ring on the lens to adjust the focus.
Adjusting the Focus Manual Focus Focus manually using the focus ring on the lens. 1 Set the focus mode switch on the lens to MF. 46 • On a compatible EF Cinema lens, enable manual adjustment on the lens (A 45). i only: Also, set the camera's AF mode to [One Shot] (step 3 in the following procedure). 2 Turn the lens's focus ring to adjust the focus. NOTES • With some EF lenses, you may be able to operate the focus ring even when the focus mode switch is set to AF.
Adjusting the Focus NOTES • One-shot AF is not available for the following shutter speed settings. - 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 (at a system frequency of 59.94 Hz with a frame rate other than 23.98P) - 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 (at a system frequency of 59.94 Hz with a frame rate of 23.98P) - 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 (at a system frequency of 50.
Adjusting the Focus NOTES 48 • Focus limit settings will be lost when you turn off the camera or replace the lens. In such case, set the focus limit again. • If the limits for the near end and far end conflict, the one most recently set will take precedence and the other will be cleared. For example, if you set a limit for the far end and then you set one for the near end that is farther, the limit for the far end will be cleared.
Adjusting the Focus General Notes regarding Focus Functions NOTES • If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost. • When adjusting the focus, be careful not to touch the front of the lens or moving parts on the lens except for the focus ring. • About the autofocus (AF) functions: - Autofocus may not work well when high gain levels are set. - Autofocus may not work well when [Custom Picture] > [Fine Tuning] > [Gamma] is set to [Wide DR] or [Canon Log].
Aspect Markers Aspect Markers The camera offers the following onscreen markers that indicate commonly-used aspect ratios: 4:3, 4:3 Super 35mm (j only), 1.66:1, 1.85:1 and 2.39:1.
