Recording – Basic Operations
Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
If you want to change the reference value during
shooting
You can change the reference value by MENU knob
operations only, without opening the menu.
In this case, note the following points.
When setting the shutter speed while the shutter mode is
set to ECS or SLS, the setting of shutter speed takes
priority (see page 58). 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.
(How to select an item in the menu screen: Turn the
MENU knob to move the b mark to the desired item.)
1
Display the CAM CONFIG page of the
MAINTENANCE menu (see page 122), and press the
MENU knob.
For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 132.
2
Select IRIS OVERRIDE, and press the MENU knob.
3
Turn the MENU knob to select ON, and press the
MENU knob.
This enables the function that adjusts the reference
value during shooting. You can adjust the value by
simply turning the MENU knob.
Leaving the MENU knob in the current position for a
few seconds sets the reference value.
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
In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay happens,
adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris sensitivity trimmer.
Example: For the VCL-719BXS Auto Focus Lens
Remove the rubber cap on the front of the lens drive unit
to reveal the iris sensitivity trimmer. Use a mini-
screwdriver to turn the trimmer. Turn it clockwise to
increase the sensitivity, and turn it counterclockwise to
decrease the sensitivity.
It is recommended that you check the iris sensitivity after
replacing the lens.
The optimum position for the iris sensitivity trimmer
varies depending on the lens.
For more information, refer to the operating instructions
of the lens (or contact the lens manufacturer).

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

from the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors, which are to
