I IrisLock
Like the pupil of the human eye, the iris
contracts in well-lit environments to keep too
much light from entering and dilates in dim
environments to allow in more light.
Use this function in the following situations:
• When shooting a moving subject.
• When the distance to the subject changes (so its
size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder
changes), such as when the subject is backing
away.
• When shooting on a reflective natural background
such as atthe beach or when skiing.
• When shooting objects under a spotlight.
• When zooming.
