Adjusting Lens Settings
Blackmagic Studio Camera supports electronic lens control, which allows you to adjust lens
settings such as aperture and auto focus. The focus peaking feature creates a green edge
around the sharpest parts of the image so you can easily confirm your focus. Focus peaking is
only visible on the LCD and does not affect the SDI output.
Focus Button
When using the Studio Camera with an auto focus lens, press the focus button for focus
peaking or auto focus. Press the focus button once to auto focus. A quick double press of the
focus button activates focus peaking.
When using a manual lens, press the focus button once for focus peaking.
Iris Button
When using video dynamic range settings, a single press of the iris button will set an average
exposure based on the highlights and shadows in your shot. When using film dynamic range
settings, pressing the iris button sets your exposure to accommodate the brightest highlight in
your shot. To set your aperture manually on your Studio camera, press the up and down menu
navigation buttons.
Additional Settings
Push to Talk (PTT) Button
When doing live production it is vital that camera operators can talk to the director and others

Program (PGM) Button
It is sometimes important for camera operators to see the program output, rather than just the
