Iris Lock
Use this function when shooting a moving subject, when zooming, when the subject changes its distance (thus its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder), or when you want to lock the brightness level.
When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even when the subject moves away from you, the image will not darken.
