APERTURE CONTROL
Your Irix lens is equipped to function with your
camera’s electronic aperture controls. It also com-
municates the aperture information to the came-
ra’s software for display and EXIF data.
This feature allows you to fully utilize the creative
aspects of lens aperture in conjunction with your
camera’s metering system and autoexposure set-
tings.
There are a few important points to know about
your lens and its aperture settings:
1.
Using an aperture setting higher than f/16 may
cause some lack of sharpness do to an optical phe-
nomenon known as diffraction. This is not a defect,
but a natural occurrence in all optics.
2.
When selecting the maximum aperture of f/2.4,
some camera models will display f/2.5. This is a so-
ftware issue with some systems. The actual aper-
ture size will be f/2.4.
