wut is the a iris on dvx

i believe thats the offset for using the auto iris: -1, -2 would be a lower than normal f-stop and the positives would be higher. Basically making everything darker or brighter than normal. 0 would give you what the auto iris thinks is normal. shouldnt affect you though as I know nobody here is using the auto iris - right guys??

That little book that comes with your camera might have a better explanation than me.
 
jdajda is right. It's basically telling the camera to bias the exposure toward a higher or lower end. This is somewhat useful for run and gun situation where you don't have time to constantly check your exposure and wants to set it lower to preserve highlight details. If you're doing narrative then it's not really useful, just use zebra.
