Adjusting The Aperture - Canon EOS C700 Instruction Manual

Adjusting the Aperture

You can affect the brightness of your recordings or change the depth of field by adjusting the aperture. By
default, the camera is set to manual aperture but, depending on the lens used, the camera offers 3 ways to
adjust the aperture. For a list of compatible lenses and functions that can be used, refer to the appendix
(A 221).
Available aperture values will vary depending on the lens attached. You can select the adjustment increment and
even use the smallest iris increment allowed by the lens.
When the optional SG-1 Shoulder Style Grip Unit is attached to the camera, you can also adjust the aperture
using the grip. [] only: When a PL lens is attached to the camera, if you connect the 12-pin
camera interface cable to the camera, you can adjust the aperture from the camera.
Manual aperture: Adjust the aperture value manually using the control dial on the camera, the camera menu, or
remotely, using Browser Remote on a connected network device (A 166, 172).
Push auto iris: Momentary automatic aperture. During manual aperture, press an assignable button or use
Browser Remote (A 166, 172) to temporarily adjust the aperture automatically.
Automatic aperture: The camera adjusts the aperture automatically.
