keeping shutter angle constant. This will keep motion blur constant, but may affect your
depth of field.
Iris + Shutter
Maintains the correct exposure levels by adjusting the aperture, then the shutter value.
If the maximum or minimum available aperture is reached and exposure still cannot be
maintained, URSA Mini will begin adjusting the shutter value to keep exposure constant.
Shutter + Iris
Maintains the correct exposure levels by adjusting the shutter, then the aperture. If the
maximum or minimum available shutter value is reached and exposure still cannot be
maintained, URSA Mini will begin adjusting the aperture to keep exposure constant.
TIP When an auto exposure mode that effects the shutter is enabled, a small 'A' will
appear next to the shutter angle indicator at the top of your URSA Mini touchscreen.
NOTE To adjust your Iris from the LCD touchscreen, your URSA Mini must befitted with
a lens that supports changing aperture via the camera. If you are using a B4 or PL lens
connected via the broadcast 12 pin connector on URSA Mini PL, make sure that the lens
iris switch on the handgrip is set to ‘A’ or ‘auto.’
