‘Auto-Iris’ can be disabled by un-checking "Enabled". The camera will open the iris fully and have electronic auto-expo- sure enabled. This configuration is identical to using a manual lens.
Auto-iris will open the lens fully once the in-camera analog gains exceed a certain level. The “Gain” scroll bar adjusts the point where the auto-iris will open fully: the higher the gain, the later the auto-iris will open as the illumination diminishes.
The ‘Status’ of the auto-iris is displayed on a color panel, which has six different states:
"Disabled" - the auto-iris is either disabled by un-checking the "Enabled" check box, or is not present;
"Evaluating" - the camera is pre- paring to close the iris;
"Too Dark" - the camera cannot
close the iris because the scene illumination is too low;
"Closing" - the iris is closing down by the number of F-stops appropriate for the illumination level;
"Closed" - the iris is closed to the correct F-stop; "Opening" - the iris is opening.
