To counter problems with very bright
highlights
If the subject is too bright, the iris may close too

setting the highlight clip function on reduces the
luminance range, avoiding problems from the
automatic iris correction.
In the AUTO IRIS page of the USER menu, set
the CLIP HIGH LIGHT item to “ON”.
