# Adjusting the Aperture
- When the aperture’s onscreen display is changed between T values/F values.
- When the aperture controls on the lens are switched between automatic/manual mode.
• When using EF lenses that let you adjust the aperture gain, if the aperture gain is set too high, the aperture
adjustment may not be stable (aperture hunting), depending on the shooting conditions. In such case, reset
the lens's aperture gain to its initial value.
Exposure Compensation - AE Shift
Use AE shift to compensate the exposure that was set using automatic
aperture, in order to darken or lighten the image. You can select from 15
available AE shift levels.
You can compensate the exposure using the control dial on the camcorder
or that on the grip unit. By default, both control dials’ function is set to
aperture control. If it has been changed, set a control dial’s function to [Iris]
in advance (A 69).
1 Open the [AE Shift] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [AE Shift]
2 Select an AE shift level and then press SET.
• The selected AE shift level will be displayed above the exposure bar
and the camcorder will attempt to adjust the exposure accordingly.
Available AE Shift Levels
NOTES
• During manual aperture, you can also set the AE shift level by turning a control dial assigned to [Iris] while
holding the assignable button set to [PUSH AUTO IRIS] pressed down.
• If you set an assignable button to [AE Shift +] or [AE Shift -] (A 113), you can press the button to adjust the
AE shift level.

The Exposure Bar
The Î on top of the exposure bar indicates optimal exposure without any shift
(AE±0); the scale markings indicate the deviation from optimal exposure in
1/2 EV increments. The indicator inside the exposure bar represents the current
exposure. When the difference between current and optimal exposure is larger
than ±2 EV, the indicator will flash at the edge of the exposure bar. Optimal
exposure will change depending on the light metering mode (A 74) used.
