FOCUS control (3a)
3a.
The focus of both optics can
be manually adjusted using the
potentiometer switch labelled FOCUS.
You can adjust the focus from ∞ to 0.5
m by actuating the switch. Manual
focussing will automatically deactivate
the auto-focus mode (See also AF
button on p. 6).
IRIS and BRIGHTNESS
control (3b)
3b.
If auto-exposure is deactivated (see
EXP on p. 7) then the iris of both
optics simultaneously can be manually
adjusted from F=1.6 to 23.6 using the
potentiometer switch labelled IRIS. The
IRIS F/# is displayed in an insert on the
top of the viewfinder. In this mode the
GAIN can be manually set using the
touchscreen (page 13).
If auto-exposure is turned on (see EXP
on p. 7) then the IRIS control adjusts
the BRIGHTNESS. This means that the
camera will automatically adjust the IRIS
and the GAIN. The set brightness value
is displayed in an insert in the top of the
VIEWFINDER.
