As long as you hold the button pressed down, E will appear on the screen next to the aperture value. • When you release the button, automatic aperture mode will end and the E icon will disappear. The selected aperture value will appear at the bottom of the screen. NOTES • You can use the > [v Camera Setup] > [AE Response] setting to change how quickly the aperture changes during automatic aperture mode. This setting has no effect when using a CN7x17 KAS S/E1, CN7x17 KAS S/P1, CN10x25 IAS S/E1, CN10x25 IAS S/P1, CN20x50 IAS H/E1, CN20x50 IAS H/P1 or broadcast lens. Automatic Aperture When a compatible lens is attached to the camera, you can have the camera automatically adjust the aperture. This function is not available when slow & fast motion recording is activated. Select > [v Camera Setup] > [Iris Mode] > [Automatic]. • When using a compatible EF Cinema/broadcast lens, enable automatic adjustment on the lens (A 73). • The camera will automatically adjust the aperture to obtain optimal exposure. The selected aperture value will appear at the bottom of the screen with an E icon next to it. NOTES • If you set an assignable button to [Iris Mode] (A 121), you can press the button to toggle between the [Automatic] and [Manual] settings when a compatible lens (A 230) is attached to the camera. • When > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Sensor Mode] is set to [Super 35mm] and a broadcast lens is attached to the camera, the camera will not achieve optimal exposure. • When > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Sensor Mode] is set to [Full Frame] and an EF-S lens or Super 35mm lens is attached to the camera, the camera will not achieve optimal exposure. Similarly, when > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Sensor Mode] is set to [Full Frame] or [Super 35mm (Cropped)] and a broadcast lens is attached to the camera, the camera will not achieve optimal exposure either. • The aperture value may change in the following cases. - While using the built-in extender or iris compensation function of an EF Cinema lens, when you switch from automatic aperture to manual aperture. - When the aperture controls on the lens are switched between automatic/manual mode. • When using EF Cinema lenses/broadcast lenses that let you adjust the aperture gain, if the aperture gain is set too high, the aperture adjustment may not be stable ("aperture hunting"), depending on the shooting conditions. In such case, reset the lens's aperture gain to its initial value.
