Normally, the Palmcorder adjusts the exposure automatically. However, when the background is extremely bright, or when the subject is backlit, you can compensate by adjusting the Iris manually.

3 Press JOG KEY repeatedly so that Iris setting indication appears in the EVF or the LCD monitor.

4 Rotate JOG KEY to adjust the iris;

When a value closer to “CLOSE” is selected, the image becomes darker.

When a value closer to “OP+18dB” is selected, the image becomes brighter.

Hold down AUTO/MANUAL for more than 0.7 second to cancel the setting.

Note

The value to which +dB is attached indicates a gain value. If this value is too large, the quality of the image deteriorates.

Depending on ZOOM magnification, the iris value may not be displayed correctly.

If you are using Program AE mode, you cannot adjust the iris. If the iris is adjusted manually, the above modes will be canceled.
