Setting Auto Iris

The reference value for automatic iris adjustment
can be changed to aid the shooting of clear
pictures of back-lit subjects, or to prevent blown-
out highlights. The reference value for the lens
iris can be set within the following range with
respect to the standard value.
• 0.25 to 1 (increments of 0.25): About 0.25 to 1
stop further open
• –0.25 to –1 (increments of 0.25): About 0.25 to
1 stop further close
Also you can set the area where light detection
occurs.
To change the reference value

"On" (see page 131).
