Adjusting the Aperture
• When using a compatible EF Cinema lens, you can change the displays to T values instead of F values with
the [IRIS] > [OPTIONS] > [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 or broadcast lens compatible with iris adjustment from the camera, when the
iris is almost fully closed, the aperture value displayed on the monitoring screen may appear in gray.
• When using an EF Cinema lens or broadcast 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.
