# Adjusting the Aperture
70
To change the aperture mode and value
1 Open the aperture [Mode] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Mode]
• This submenu is available only with lenses compatible with automatic
aperture. Otherwise, start from step 3.
2 Select [Manual] and then press SET.
3 Open the [Iris Increment] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Iris Increment]
4 Select [1/2 stop], [1/3 stop] or [Fine] and then press SET.
5 Turn the control dial assigned to [Iris] to adjust the aperture.
• The selected aperture value will appear on the lower left of the screen.
• When [~ Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Iris Increment] is set to [Fine],
the actual increments will be smaller than 1/3 stop but the onscreen
display will show the closest 1/3-stop aperture value.
NOTES
• You can use the [w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] >
[Control Dial Dir.] or [Grip Ctrl Dial Dir.] setting (A 123) to change the
direction of the adjustment when you turn the control dial on the camcorder or on the grip unit, respectively.
• If you set an assignable button to [Iris +] or [Iris -] (A 111), you can press the button to respectively open up
or close the aperture.
Remote Operation Using Wi-Fi Remote
After completing the necessary preparations (A 49), you can adjust the aperture value remotely from a Wi-Fi-
enabled device using the Wi-Fi Remote application.
1 On the camcorder, set [~ Camera Setup] > [Iris] > [Mode] to [Manual] (A 70).
• This is only necessary when using a lens compatible with automatic aperture. For other lenses, [Manual] is
the default setting and cannot be changed.
2 Press the current aperture value on the Wi-Fi Remote screen.
3 Select the desired aperture value from the list.
• You may need to scroll up/down to see all the available values.
• Alternatively, you can press IRIS [+] to open the aperture or IRIS [-] to close the aperture in 1/8-stop
increments. (Onscreen displays will show the closest 1/3-stop aperture value.)
• The selected value will be displayed on the Wi-Fi Remote screen and will be applied on the lens.
