[Iris (Aperture Value)] Adjusts the iris (aperture) according to the brightness of the subject. When [Auto] is set, the iris is automatically adjusted. When [Auto] is off, the iris can be manually adjusted. Moving the slider to the left opens the aperture and brightens the video. Moving it to the right narrows the aperture and darkens the video. Following aperture values can be set. N500 F2.8, F3.1, F3.4, F3.7, F4.0, F4.4, F4.5, F4.8, F5.2, F5.6, F6.2, F6.7, F7.3, F8.0, F8.7, F9.5, F10, F11 N300 F1.8, F2.0, F2.2, F2.4, F2.6, F2.8, F3.1, F3.4, F3.7, F4.0, F4.4, F4.8, F5.2, F5.6, F6.2, F6.7, F7.3, F8.0 The aperture value that can be set differs depending on the zoom position. Reference aperture value is displayed on the screen. N500 Maximum wide angle: F2.8 to F11, maximum telephoto: F4.5 to F11 N300 Maximum wide angle: F1.8 to F8.0, maximum telephoto: F2.8 to F8.0 Note • By changing the depth of field and blur the background or surroundings to make the subject stand out, set a smaller aperture value, and to keep everything from close objects to far-away objects in focus, set a larger aperture value. • When shooting in a bright location, narrowing down the iris can cause blurring. It is possible to prevent blurring by adjusting the ND filter and shutter speed and opening the iris. • When [AUTO] of the iris is set to off, the aperture value from Auto is inherited. The aperture value before setting to [AUTO] is not restored. [ND Filter] N500 Choose whether to use the ND filter. ND filter can be switched to three levels (1/4, 1/16, 1/64). The ND filter allows to open the aperture for a video with shallow depth of field even in a bright environment. This is also convenient for avoiding blur caused by narrowing down the aperture. Note Changing the ND Filter settings in certain shooting conditions could generate some slight change in coloring. In this case, it is effective to set the white balance when shooting (P. 31). [ND Filter] N300 The ND filter allows to open the aperture for a video with shallow depth of field even in a bright environment. This is also convenient for avoiding blur caused by narrowing down the aperture. When the [Shooting Mode] is set to (Iris Priority AE) or (Manual Exposure) and the [Iris (Aperture Value)] is F4.0 or larger, ND filter is automatically adjusted linked to the setting of the iris. In other shooting modes, when [Iris (Aperture Value)] is F4.0 or larger, the exposure is automatically adjusted using the ND filter. In (Iris Priority AE), (Manual Exposure), (Program AE), or (Shutter Priority AE), in order to adjust the exposure without using the ND filter, [Auto] can be set to off. Note When the [Shooting Mode] is set to is always automatically adjusted. (Full Auto), (Portrait), (Sports), (Low Light), or (Spotlight), ND filter [Shutter Mode] Adjusting the shutter speed enables to adapt to the subjects and the shooting environment, making it possible to capture fast-moving subjects (sports, vehicles, etc.) clearly and brighten low-light scenes, etc. Shutter speed can be adjusted in the following modes: 28
