3 Recording Adjusting the Aperture • When you set the aperture value manually, it is not retained if you activate automatic aperture control (excluding full auto mode). The aperture value set automatically by the camcorder will be retained when you switch back to manual aperture control. • When you activate the built-in ND filter, the picture may become dark when you set a high aperture value. In such case, set the ND filter to OFF and readjust the aperture. • You can use the [J Other Functions] [Custom Function] [I. Ring Direction] setting (0 124) to change the direction of the adjustment when you turn the iris ring. • You can set the [J Other Functions] [Custom Function] [ZR-2000 AE Shift] setting (0 124) to [Iris] to change the aperture value using the AE SHIFT dial on the optional ZR-2000 Zoom Remote Controller.
