View Full Version : Bizarre erratic iris ring issue

Whenever I switch from auto iris to manual iris and try to use the iris wheel, it behaves totally erratically. Sometimes when I roll it it goes down to full open, sometimes it behaves roughly normally, and sometimes it closes the iris. I can't control it, though...it has a mind of its own.

I remember someone else had this problem. Does anyone know what the solution is? Yes, I know how it SHOULD be behaving, I've used a whole bunch of dvx100's and 100a's. It's not behaving normally on mine.

Also, any way to flash the firmware (all user settings) and bring the camera back to normal, everything how it was when it shipped (except the hour meter, of course...I know you can't hack that.)

This is really screwing me up big time. We already lost some really important footage to this problem. Anyone have any advice? Anything?

If you want to reset everything, then just press the reset button, assuming you haven't tried that yet. Other than that, I don't know...

Tried it, unfortunately it didn't work, though.
