Nikon Image Converter user manual Will the Mini35 control the iris of my Canon EF lenses?

manual. There are reports that these lenses are not as smooth in their movement in manual mode as compared to the MF lenses but will otherwise function normally. The Mini35 does not provide any type of electronic lens control.

Q:Will the Mini35 control the iris of my Canon EF lenses?

A:No. The Mini35 does not provide any type of electronic lens control. EF lenses are wide open by default, which means there is no problem using them with the Mini35; you will simply have no way to stop down the lens for Depth of Field control.

Q:Can I use commercially available anamorphic adapters with the Mini35?

A:No. The Mini35 connects directly to the cameras and does not allow for the use of any of the prosumer anamorphic attachments. There are two methods for shooting 16x9. The first is to shoot 4:3, composing for 16x9 and then masking in post. The XL1S provides on-screen guides to assist in this process. The second is to use the in-camera 16x9 feature. To achieve a 2.4:1 “scope” look you are able to use anamorphic cine lenses from companies such as Panavision and Hawk. Most NLE systems will allow for an anamorphic unsqueeze during capture. The image will appear squeezed in the viewfinder or field monitor unless you have a monitor that can perform an unsqueeze or you use an inline unsqueeze device similar to the Transvideo format converter.
