NOTES
• When using an EF Cinema lens or EF lens with no lens contacts*, you cannot adjust the aperture using the
camcorder. Adjust the aperture using the lens.

• When using an optional lens extender, you cannot adjust the aperture by selecting an aperture value.
• You can use the [w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [Grip Ctrl Dial Dir.] setting (A 121) to change
the direction of the adjustment when you turn the control dial.
• If you are using an EF lens that can correct the aperture value according to the position of the zoom, you can use the
[
~ Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Zoom-Iris Correct.] setting to select whether to maintain the f/stop as you zoom.
• If you set an assignable button to [Iris +] or [Iris -] (A 107), you can press the button to respectively open up
or close the aperture.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can adjust the aperture
with the remote controller's IRIS dial. At default settings, turn the dial right to open up the aperture (smaller F
value) and left to close the aperture (larger F value).
• When using an EF Cinema lens compatible with iris adjustment from the camcorder, when you change the
aperture value from a position of fully open or fully closed iris, multiple adjustment operations may be required
until the aperture changes.
