Note

The following warnings may be displayed:

 

‘IRIS TBL’ – a valid iris table has not yet been

 

activated;

 

readings with ‘NO’ in the first display line

 

indicate that the selected function is currently

 

not available (example: ‘NO IRIS’ although the

 

iris control is activated on the WRC-1, the iris

 

motor has not yet been connected);

 

readings with ‘RANGE’ in the second display

 

line indicate that the adjustment range of a

 

parameter has been exceeded (example: the

 

selected speed is not available with this camera);

 

readings with ‘OFF’ in the first display line

 

indicate that this function is deactivated on the

 

camera (example: shutter angle of the 435 is

 

set manually = ‘OFF ANGLE’).

 

Correct parameters must be set before the

 

camera is started!

The handwheel is without function in the main menu. Press the RAMP button when the camera is running to start the ramp. The camera can be started, by pressing the RUN button on the WMU-1.

The ramp can be reversed, by pressing the RAMP button again: the ramp then reverses its direction until it reaches the start value again. For best results wait until the end of the ramp.

Note:

To check the image in the viewfinder, the iris

 

can be opened completely by pressing the

 

OPEN button. 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.
