Iris Wheel question..

I see the AF100 has an iris wheel in a similar place to the HVX etc...

When using a "proper" cine lens with T-Stop ring, what does one do with the Iris Wheel?

Is it disabled automatically or ...?
 
It turns into a magic dummy knob for when one of your clients decides they want to give input on your already perfect work.

"Can you maybe enhance the image somehow?"

You: "Sure! (knob knob knob) How's this?

"Wonderful! Perfect!" :cheesy:
 
Jester.... wonderful stuff. I often let them rant, then I don't do anything, and then they are like... hey, I don't know what you did but now it's wonderful. People like to *****..... hence so much of what makes this forum fun and frustrating.
 
Ya know...they actually sell dummy knobs for audio and editing suites. Like really fancy rackmounted ones with lights and a ton of buttons and stuff. I find that hysterical!

"Hold on...let me run the signal through my Autograder 3100, just gimmie a sec to tweak the settings..."

"WOW!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!"
 
There is no iris in the AF100. The iris wheel is an electronic control that instructs the lens to open or close its iris. If you're using a manual-only lens, there's nothing for the iris wheel to do.
 
Thanx Barry

I actually had a play with the camera last night and confirmed that for myself in the process.

Must admit also...I could not get it to enhance the image either!

Back in the days of when I was a linear online editor, I would make a few fake keystrokes and then just preview the same edit again.

Worked every time.
 
Once had someone request that I change the music on a particular piece...I was making some other tweaks, but hadn't had time to change the music before they asked to see it again. Their reaction:

"It's just so much nicer with the different music. I'm really glad you changed that."

Yeah, me too. :thumbsup:
