When the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit is
connected
The IRIS control knob of the RM-B150/B750 can be used
for lens iris setting. In this case, the bar display (
s
) does
not appear.
To adjust the iris sensitivity
When you use the VCL-719BXS lens (supplied with
PDW-F335K), you usually need not adjust the iris
sensitivity because lenses are equipped with iris sensitivity
adjustment function.
In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay happens,
adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris sensitivity trimmer.
Example: For the lens (VCL-719BXS) supplied
with the PDW-F335K
Remove the rubber cap on the front of the lens drive unit
to reveal the iris sensitivity trimmer. Use a mini-
screwdriver to turn the trimmer. Turn it clockwise to
increase the sensitivity, and turn it counterclockwise to
decrease the sensitivity.
It is recommended that you check the iris sensitivity after
replacing the lens.
The optimum position for the iris sensitivity trimmer
varies depending on the lens.
For more information, refer to the operating instructions
of the lens (or contact the lens manufacturer).

Setting the AUDIO SELECT (CH-1/CH-2) switches to
AUTO automatically adjusts the input levels of the audio

To manually adjust the levels of the audio

from the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors, which are to
