Controlling the Shutter Angle

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 pro-

 

grammed 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 end-stops for the handwheel (minimum and maximum shutter angle) 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 shutter angle value in the first display line flashes. 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 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 values for the minimum and maximum aperture (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.
