Adjusting the Iris Sensitivity

You usually need not adjust the iris sensitivity because
lenses are equipped with iris sensitivity adjustment
function.
In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay
happens, adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris
sensitivity trimmer.
Iris sensitivity trimmer (S
or IRIS GAIN is indicated.)

You can see the iris sensitivity trimmer when
removing the gum cap on the front of the lens driving
unit. Use a mini-screwdriver to turn the trimmer. If
you turn it clockwise, the sensitivity increases, and if
you turn it counterclockwise, the sensitivity decreases.
It is recommended that you confirm the iris sensitivity
after replacing the lens.
