Recording – Basic Operations
Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
When setting the shutter speed while the shutter mode is
set to ECS or SLS, the setting of shutter speed takes
priority (see page 63). To change the reference value,
make sure the camcorder is not in the process of setting the
shutter speed.
Check that the slow & quick-motion function is off.
Proceed as follows.

When the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit is
connected
The IRIS control knob of the RM-B150/B750 can be used
for lens iris setting. In this case, the bar display (s) does
not appear.
To adjust the iris sensitivity
When you use the VCL-719BXS lens (supplied with
PDW-F330K), you usually need not adjust the iris
sensitivity because lenses are equipped with iris sensitivity
adjustment function.
In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay happens,
adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris sensitivity trimmer.
Example for the lens (VCL-719BXS) supplied with
the PDW-F330K:
You can see the iris sensitivity trimmer when removing the
rubber cap on the front of the lens driving unit. Use a mini-
screwdriver to turn the trimmer. If you turn it clockwise,
the sensitivity increases, and if you turn it
counterclockwise, the sensitivity decreases.
It is recommended that you confirm the iris sensitivity
after replacing the lens.
For more information, refer to the operating instructions
for the lens (or consult the lens maker).
Adjusting the Audio Level
Setting the AUDIO SELECT (CH-1/CH-2) switches to
AUTO automatically adjusts the input levels of the audio
signal to be recorded in audio channels 1 and 2.
To manually adjust the levels of the audio
inputs from the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2
connectors
Proceed as follows to adjust the levels of the audio inputs
from the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors, which are to
be recorded in audio channels 1 and 2.
