Iris Lock

Like the pupil of the human eye, the iris contracts in well- lit environments to keep too much light from entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in more light. Use this function in the following situations:

When shooting a moving subject.

When the distance to the subject changes (so its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder changes), such as when the subject is backing away.

When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

When shooting objects under a spotlight.

When zooming.

When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even when the subject moves away from you, the image will not darken or brighten.

Before doing the following, perform steps 1 5 in “Exposure Control”.

6 Adjust zoom so that the subject fills the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, then press and hold the MMENU/VOL. Wheel for over 2 seconds. The exposure control indicator and the “indication appear.
