Recording using
manual adjustments
You can manually adjust the iris, gain, etc.
according to the brightness of the recording
scene or in order to obtain desired effects.
Adjust the iris, gain, shutter speed, and white
balance after setting the AUTO LOCK
switch to the center position to release the
auto lock mode.
Depending on the position of the AUTO
LOCK switch, you can hold or release the
settings of these functions.
See page 27 for details on how to adjust the
white balance.
b Note
• If you want to set the exposure intentionally to other
than a proper level, adjust the iris, gain, and shutter
speed manually.
• If you adjust only one of either iris, shutter speed, or
gain manually, you can record with iris priority,
shutter speed priority, or gain priority, respectively.
z Tip
• To adjust the brightness of pictures, set all of the iris,
gain, and shutter speed to the manual adjustment
mode, then rotate the iris dial.
Adjusting the iris
You can manually adjust the light volume
entering the lens.
As the iris is opened (smaller aperture
values), the light volume increases. The
range of focus narrows and only the subject
appears in sharp focus.
As the iris is closed (larger aperture values),
the light volume decreases and the range of
focus widens.
