Recording With Manual Exposure
Adjustment
When adjusting the exposure manually:
1.
Set the camcorder’s programmed AE mode to
Manual or Av ( I ).
2. Use the camcorder’s exposure functions (e.g. the
IRIS/SELECT wheel) to adjust the exposure as
desired
( J ).
Cautions
● You cannot operate the zoom using the camcorder’s
zoom lever.
● If you zoom in or out, you may need to adjust the
focus once more.
● Certain EF lenses may be difficult to focus manually,
but using the monitor as a guide you will still be able
to adjust the focus in most cases.
● This adapter cannot be used with the Canon
Extender XL.
● We do not recommend use of EF 2
×/EF 1.4× lenses
with this adapter as they are difficult to focus
manually, but using the monitor as a guide, you will
still be able to adjust the focus in most cases.
● If you attach an EF lens with a wider aperture than
f/1.6, there will be no benefit from apertures smaller
than f/1.6.
● If you use a lens that is fitted with an image
stabilization system the stabilization will be effective,
but not to the same extent as an XL lens.
