IRIS
You can shoot images with the IRIS priority mode. Changing IRIS parameter changes the focus range.
You can change the IRIS parameter depending on what type of photos you want to shoot, either to
sharpen the subject with its background blurred or sharpen the whole image.
1.
[Camera/Mic] [ Manual Settings] [IRIS].
2. Select the desired item.
Auto
The IRIS is adjusted automatically.
Manual
Adjust the iris by selecting
to sharpen the whole image (increase the IRIS parameter), and
to sharpen the subject with its background blurred (decrease the IRIS parameter).
To change the atmosphere of image by the IRIS parameter
Smaller F-value (opening the iris) narrows the range that is in focus. Larger F-value (narrowing down the
iris) widens the range that is in focus. Open the iris to blur the background, or narrow down the iris to
sharpen the whole image.
Notes
Even if you open the IRIS wider (a smaller F-value) than F3.4 when you set the zoom lever to the
W (Wide angle) side, the IRIS is reset to F3.4 as you move the zoom lever to the T (Telephoto)
side.
