Iris Lock

Like the pupil of the human eye, the iris
contracts in well-lit environments to keep too
much light from entering, and dilates in dim
environments to allow in more light.
Use this function in the following situations:
When shooting a moving subject.
When the distance to the subject changes (so
its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder
changes), such as when the subject is backing
away.
When shooting on a reflective natural
background such as at the beach or when
skiing.
When shooting objects under a spotlight.
When zooming.
