Adjusting the Aperture

Changing the aperture mode and value

1 Open the aperture [Mode] submenu.

[v Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Mode]

• This setting is available only when an EF lens compatible with

automatic aperture is attached to the camera. For non-

compatible lenses, the aperture mode will be set to [Manual] and

cannot be changed. Skip to step 3.

• When using a compatible EF Cinema lens, enable automatic

adjustment on the lens (A 72).

2 Select [Manual] and then press SET.

3 Open the [Iris Increment] submenu.

[v Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Iris Increment]

4 Select [1/2 stop], [1/3 stop] or [Fine] and then press SET.

5 Turn the control dial assigned to [Iris] to adjust the aperture.

• The selected aperture value will appear on the bottom of the

screen and will be displayed also on the rear panel.

• When [Iris Increment] is set to [Fine], the actual increments will be

smaller than 1/3 stop but the display will show the closest

1/3-stop aperture value.

NOTESNOTES

• You can use the [ System Setup] > [Custom Function] > [Camera Control Dial Dir.] or [Grip Control Dial

Dir.] setting (A 149) to change the direction of the adjustment when you turn the control dial on the camera or

on the grip unit, respectively.

• If you set an assignable button to [Iris +] or [Iris –] (A 135), you can press the button to respectively open up

the aperture (smaller F values) or close it (larger F vales).

• When using an EF lens with no lens contacts or most EF Cinema lenses*, you cannot adjust the aperture using

the camera. Adjust the aperture using the lens.

* Select EF Cinema lenses (A 222) support iris adjustment from this camera.

• When using an EF lens that can correct the aperture value according to the position of the zoom, you can use

the [v Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [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.

• When using a compatible EF Cinema lens, you can change the displays to T values instead of F values with

the [v Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Iris Indicator] setting.

• The aperture value (F value or T value) displayed on the screen may differ from the indication on the lens’s

aperture scale.

• When using an EF Cinema lens compatible with iris adjustment from the camera, 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.
