If the on-screen program mode is on because the settings

are changed, the Menu (M) position clears the screen. For

example, if color is to be changed with the on-screen

program tool, the on-screen program window overlays

the image. To see the image and its color appearance, go

to M position. The window disappears but the on-screen

program mode is still on. By releasing the switch, the

window will come back in the programming mode.

10.3.2 Mechanical Iris

Only a relatively small portion of the light that passes

through the film camera’s lens reaches the CCD-Chip of

the video assist, as the light is shared between the view

finder, the CCD-Chip and the film. Therefore the IVS

lenses are designed for normal usage with a totally open

iris to have maximum light on the CCD-Chip. Variations

in lighting are compensated by the IVS gain control

(automatically or manually).

Under certain conditions, such as when lighting is set for

low sensitivity film (under 100 ASA) or for motion effects,

it is possible that the IVS gain range is exceeded. In this

case the mechanical iris of the IVS lens can be closed.
