Adjusting the Aperture
You can affect the brightness of your recordings or change the depth of field by adjusting the aperture. For
example, use a small aperture value for a shallow depth of field that isolates the subject in focus and nicely blurs
the background. Available aperture values will vary depending on the EF lens attached to the camera.
Using the Control Dial
You can adjust the aperture value of most EF lenses using the control
dial on the camera. When you have attached the grip unit of the
C300 / C300 PL or C100 to the camera, you can select the function
assigned to each control dial independently.
By default the control dial’s function is set to aperture control. If it has
been changed, follow the procedure below to set the control dial’s
function to [Iris] in advance.
Assigning Aperture Control to the Control Dial
