Aperture
Aperture
You can affect the brightness of your recordings or change the depth of field by adjusting the aperture. For
example, use a small aperture value for a shallow depth of field that isolates the subject in focus and nicely blurs
the background. The camcorder offers 3 ways to adjust the aperture.
Automatic aperture: The camcorder adjusts the aperture automatically.
Push auto iris: Momentary automatic aperture. During manual aperture, press the PUSH AUTO IRIS button or
use Browser Remote (A 162, 168) to temporarily adjust the aperture automatically.
Manual aperture: Adjust the aperture value manually using the iris ring, or remotely, using Browser Remote on a
connected network device (A 162, 168).
