Recording
Recording in Aperture-Priority (Av) Mode
The aperture value can be adjusted in 1/8 EV stops; however, the aperture value displayed on the
screen will change only in 1/4 EV stops.
Available aperture values
F1.6, F1.8, F2.0, F2.2, F2.4, F2.6, F2.8, F3.2, F3.4, F3.7, F4.0, F4.4, F4.8, F5.2, F5.6, F6.2, F6.7, F7.3, F8.0,
F8.7, F9.5, F10*, F11*, F12*, F14*, F15*, F16*, F17*, F19*, F21*, F22*, CLOSE*
* Can only be selected if the custom function [IRIS LIMIT] is set to [OFF].
1. Set the dial to Av.
2. Select the aperture with the iris ring.
With the custom function [RINGS DIRECTION]
( 97) you can change the direction of the
adjustment when you turn the iris ring.
Settings other than the aperture value (shutter speed, etc.) are adjusted automatically.
Using exposure lock to adjust the exposure manually will change the aperture, overriding the value
selected in Av mode.
When the AGC switch is set to ON, the numeric value on the screen flashes when the selected
aperture is not appropriate for the recording condition. In such case, readjust the aperture.
When the built-in ND filter is activated, the picture may become dark when you set a high aperture
value. In such case, turn off the ND Filter first and readjust the aperture.
With the custom function [IRIS LIMIT] ( 97) you can activate the iris limit to prevent the aperture
from closing below the diffraction limit (F9.5) of the lens. If the iris limit is not activated, aperture
values that exceed the diffraction limit will appear in gray when selecting the aperture. Using
aperture values displayed in gray will cause diffraction blur.
With the custom function [LANC AE SHIFT] ( 97), you can change the function of the AE SHIFT
dial on the optional ZR-2000 Zoom Remote Controller and use it to change the aperture value.
