Controlling the Iris

•Press the MODE button in the main menu to enter the first submenu. The limit values for the minimum and maximum aperture of the lens can be defined.

The first display line shows the start value of the aperture, and the second line the value at the end of the ramp.

•Press the SEL button for longer than 2 seconds. The T-stop value in the first display line flashes. The required value can now be adjusted using the handwheel. Press the SEL button again to switch to the next digit. The first digits are confirmed, and the decimal is 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 fixed values for the mirror shutter angle (if controlled by the WRC-1) and the camera speed, use the SEL and SET buttons and the handwheel, as described above.

•Press the MODE button to go to the next submenu. To enter the ramp duration, use the SEL and SET buttons and the handwheel, as described above.

 

A previously set ramp duration may now exceed

 

the technically fastest possible adjustment, if the

 

ramp duration is simply kept from an old

 

program. The READY LED then flashes green

 

and the warning ‘SEC RANGE’ is shown in the

 

main menu. The ramp duration must be cor-

 

rected. The camera can still be started for test

 

purposes in spite of the flashing warning.

 

However, the exposure may be incorrect!

Note:

The shortest possible ramp time is adjusted by

 

turning the handwheel to the left end-stop. The

 

maximum ramp time is 100 seconds.
