In the user mode, all adjustments are not
carried out linearly within the adjustment time,
as in the other WRC modes. For this reason,
ramp durations may be different, compared to
those in the other WRC modes.

The main menu shows the currently adjusted shutter angle
in the first line. If the aperture is being controlled by the
WRC-1, this is indicated by an ‘F’ at the end of the first
display line. The currently adjusted T-stop can be shown
in the first display line by pressing the SET button.
The current camera speed is displayed in the second line.

Note:

The display shows full T-stops followed by the
tenth of a T-stop. Example: T-stop 2.8 plus half
a T-stop is shown as 2.8_5. The tenths of a T-stop
are linearly divided between the two full T-stop
positions.

Note:

To check the image in the viewfinder, the iris can
be opened completely by pressing the OPEN
button (if controlled by the WRC-1).
The iris remains open until the OPEN button is
released again.
This does not alter the programmed settings.
The OPEN button is without function while the
camera is running.

The ‘PROG’ symbol indicates that a time-controlled ramp
function has been selected.

Note

The following warnings may be displayed:
‘IRIS TBL’ – a valid iris table has not yet been
activated;
readings with ‘NO’ in the first display line
indicate that the selected function is currently
not available (example: ‘NO IRIS’ although the
iris control is activated on the WRC-1, the iris
motor has not yet been connected);
readings with ‘RANGE’ in the second display
line indicate that the adjustment range of a
