‘Auto-Iris’ can be disabled by
un-checking "Enabled". The
camera will open the iris fully
and have electronic auto-expo-
sure enabled. This configuration
is identical to using a manual
lens.
Auto-iris will open the lens fully
once the in-camera analog gains
exceed a certain level. The
“Gain” scroll bar adjusts the
point where the auto-iris will
open fully: the higher the gain,
the later the auto-iris will open
as the illumination diminishes.
The ‘Status’ of the auto-iris is
displayed on a color panel,
which has six different states:
"Disabled" - the auto-iris is
either disabled by un-checking
the "Enabled" check box, or is
not present;
"Evaluating" - the camera is pre-
paring to close the iris;
"Too Dark" - the camera cannot
close the iris because the scene illumination is too low;
"Closing" - the iris is closing down by the number of F-stops
appropriate for the illumination level;
"Closed" - the iris is closed to the correct F-stop;
"Opening" - the iris is opening.
