C AUTO button
Press and light the button to automatically adjust
the iris according to the amount of input light
(Auto Iris). If you press the button when lit, it
goes dark and manual iris adjustment is
enabled.
Note
If the subject being used as the reference for
automatic adjustment is lost while operating a
camera having the skin tone auto iris function,
the skin tone auto iris stops functioning, and the
iris value at that time is maintained. The AUTO
button then flashes. In this condition, not only is
the iris not automatically adjusted but also it
cannot be changed manually. When you wish to
change the iris, turn Auto Iris off. If Auto Iris is
kept ON, the skin tone auto iris will start
functioning when the subject for reference is
resumed.
