[Camera Control Dial Dir.] or [Grip Control Dial Dir.] setting (

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 –] (

the aperture (smaller F values) or close it (larger F vales).
• When using an EF lens with no lens contacts or an EF Cinema lens (except for a CINE-SERVO CN7x17 KAS
S/E1 lens), you cannot adjust the aperture using the camera. Adjust the aperture using the lens.
• When using an EF lens that can correct the aperture value according to the position of the zoom, you can use
the [

• 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 Canon Cinema lens, you can change the displays to T values instead of F values with the
