Adjusting The Aperture; Manual Aperture Control - Canon EOS C100 Mark II Instruction Manual

Adjusting the Aperture

You can affect the brightness of your recordings or change the depth of field by adjusting the aperture. Available
aperture values will vary depending on the lens attached to the camcorder.
The camcorder offers 3 ways to adjust the aperture. By default, the camcorder is set to manual aperture. The
aperture mode can only be changed when a lens compatible with automatic aperture is attached to the
camcorder.
Manual aperture: Adjust the aperture value manually using the control dial on the grip unit, or remotely, using the
Browser Remote application.
Momentary automatic aperture - Push Auto Iris*: During manual aperture, press the PUSH AUTO IRIS button or
use the Browser Remote application to temporarily adjust the aperture automatically.
Automatic aperture**: The camcorder adjusts the aperture automatically.
* Available when an EF lens (except manual focus lenses) is attached to the camcorder.
**Available only with compatible EF lenses (A 65).

Manual Aperture Control

You can adjust the aperture value of most EF lenses using the
control dial on the grip unit. Available aperture values will vary
depending on the EF lens attached to the camcorder.
By default, the camcorder is set to manual aperture.
1 Open the aperture [Mode] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Mode]

automatic aperture is attached to the camcorder.

[Manual] and cannot be changed.
