Tip
• The focal distance information (for when it is 
dark and hard to adjust the focus) appears for 
about 3 seconds in the following cases. (It will 
not be displayed correctly if you are using a 
conversion lens (optional)).
– When the focus mode is switched from 
automatic to manual.
– When you rotate the focus ring.
During standby, press the EXPANDED 
FOCUS button B.
[EXPANDED FOCUS] appears and the 
center of the screen is magnified by about 2 
times. It will be easier to confirm the focus 
setting during manual focusing. The screen 
returns to the original size when you push 
the button again. 
b
Note
• The image returns to the original size when you 
press the REC START/STOP button or the 
PHOTO/EXPANDED FOCUS button.
z
Tip
• You can select the type of a picture on 
EXPANDED FOCUS ([EXP.FOCUS TYPE] 
p. 63).
You can adjust the brightness of a picture 
with the EXPOSURE/IRIS dial G.
You can assign any one of [EXPOSURE] 
(the default setting), [IRIS] and [AE 
SHIFT] to the EXPOSURE/IRIS dial G 
from the menu (p. 56).
z
Tips
• Even if you open the aperture more than F2.8 
(i.e. make the iris value smaller, such as F1.6) 
during camera EXPOSURE/IRIS setting, 
changing the zoom from wide to telephoto will 
change the iris to F2.8.
• When the EXPOSURE/IRIS dial is set to 
[EXPOSURE],  
appears 
next to the values 
that can be set with the EXPOSURE/IRIS dial.
x
EXPOSURE (the default setting)
You can adjust the display brightness by 
adjusting the iris and gain (the shutter 
speed remains fixed).
The iris, gain and shutter speed are 
displayed on the screen.
b
Note
• The GAIN button and the SHUTTER SPEED 
button are inactive.
z
Tip
• This is handy for changing the brightness of the 
screen and setting the desired brightness by dial 
operation.
x
IRIS
You can manually adjust the light volume 
of the light entering the lens between F1.6 
and F11 or close the aperture.
As the iris is opened (smaller aperture 
values), the light volume increases or the 
iris is closed (larger aperture values), the 
light volume decreases. The current 
aperture value (F) appears on the screen.
