Adjusting the Iris Manually
Normally, the Palmcorder adjusts the
exposure automatically. However, when
the background is extremely bright, or
when the subject is backlit, you can
compensate by adjusting the Iris manually.1Set POWER to CAMERA.
2Hold down AUTO/MANUAL for more
than 0.7 seconds so that the “MNL”
indication appears in the EVF or the
LCD monitor.
3Press JOG KEY repeatedly so that
Iris setting indication appears in the
EVF or the LCD monitor.
4Rotate JOG KEY to adjust the iris;
When a value closer to “CLOSE” is
selected, the image becomes darker.
When a value closer to “OP+18dB” is
selected, the image becomes
brighter.
Hold down AUTO/MANUAL for more
than 0.7 seconds to cancel the
setting.
The value to which +dB is attached
indicates a gain value. If this value is too
large, the quality of the image
deteriorates.
Depending on ZOOM magnification, the
iris value may not be displayed correctly.
If you are using Program AE mode, you
cannot adjust the iris. If the iris is adjusted
manually, the above modes will be
canceled.
