Adjusting the Aperture
When the camera mode is set to [Manual], the camera offers the following two ways to adjust the
aperture but available aperture values will vary depending on the lens attached.
Manual aperture: Adjust the aperture value manually using the joystick.
Push Auto Iris: Momentary automatic aperture. Press a button to temporarily adjust the aperture
automatically.
The camera also allows you to compensate for the exposure obtained during automatic exposure as
well as select the light metering mode.

- As you close down the aperture, the aperture value will be displayed in gray (when the iris is
almost fully closed) and then will change to [Clsd] (in white). Still, the iris may not be fully closed
even when the onscreen display appears as [Clsd].
- When you change the aperture value from a position of fully open or fully closed iris, multiple
adjustment operations may be required to change the iris.
• When using an EF lens that can correct the aperture value according to the position of the zoom*,
you can use the [Camera Setup]
>
[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. Refer to the instruction manual of the RC-V100 for details on
changing that setting.4
• The aperture values set in the camera and displayed on the screen are approximate. Use them only
as a reference.
* Some EF lenses and CINE-SERVO lenses are not compatible with this function.
