Controlling the Camera Speed

Note:

To check the image in the viewfinder, the iris can

 

be opened completely by pressing the OPEN

 

button (if controlled by the WRC-1). The iris

 

remains open until the OPEN button is released

 

again. This does not alter the programmed

 

settings. The OPEN button is without function

 

while the camera is running.

 

With most lenses, the T-stops before the end-stops

 

are not exact due to the tolerances involved. In

 

order to avoid incorrect exposure, the adjusted

 

iris range should not contain these values.

 

With the iris wide open a lens-related reduction

 

in brightness towards the edge of the image

 

may occur, looking like an incorrect exposure.

 

The exact values are dependent on the lens type

 

and must be determined with test shots.

•Press the MODE button in the main menu to enter the first submenu. The limit values for the left and right end-stops of the handwheel (minimum and maximum camera speed) can be defined.

The first display line shows the value for the left end-stop, the second line shows the value for the right end-stop.

•Press the SEL button for longer than 2 seconds.

The first digits in the first display line flash. The required value can now be set using the handwheel. Press the SEL button again to switch to the next digit. The first digits are confirmed, and the decimal positions are set to ‘0’ by pressing the SET button. The values in the second display line can be set accordingly.

•Press the MODE button to go to the next submenu. To define the values for the minimum and maximum shutter angle (if controlled by the WRC-1), use the SEL and SET buttons and the handwheel, as described above. The first display line shows the value for the left end-stop, the second line shows the value for the right end-stop.
