i think it's correctly configured. DC/VIDEO switch is set to DC (lens is of this type) and electronic iris is set to off i've tried this with interesting results. i removed the lens and turned power off. as i mounted it again and turned it on it worked! for 10 minutes... the level pot worked and brightness changed as i turned it from one end to the other. but after that, it went again bright with no changes with pot adjustment. i removed the lens again, turned it off and on and looked through the lens to see if it was open or closed. at one time it was fully closed and next time i tried it was fully open. but with no changes if i there was more or less light at the ccd. now i'm not sure if the problem lies on the camera iris controller or at the lens (i think it lies probably at the lens). what i'm sure about is that the iris control isn't working. does the level pot adjustment manualy open and close the iris or is it some kind of "electronic compensation"? thank you all for the feedback : )

no, it's my first cam, brand new.. sigh thank you very much for your help i think i'll have to call sony to get the pot issue repaired

i tried both, with bright light and in low light several times, it does nothing. the iris is working in different light conditions as long as it's in low light, but the damn screw doesent seem to do anything. anyway i leave it after testing always on the end of the L (low) side to get a darker picture but the problem remains. when adjusting does it change in real time or does it need time to "adapt" itself? i'm sure i'm missing something but i really don't know what it is thanks

i've asked that myself too. good to know

it's a varifocal with dc auto iris, f0.95 max aperture and nd-t360 filter. it's not that it washes out with sunlight, it has to be almost completly dark! even indoor with a 40w bulb lightening (behind the camera, not pointing at it) everything is seen white the feature list says: The YV2.7X2.9LA-SA2 has a built-in neutral density filter that allows for images even with extreme brightly lighted situations. The filter effectively stops the lens down to an impressive f/360. does the last bit mean that even if the iris should close further it stops at f360? it sounds to me like a contradiction.. should i get lens with a greater max. aperture (f1.2, f1.4) to have the camera working (indoors)? thanks for your help

hello all. i've a strange problem with this camera. it work's very good in low light but when turning lights on or using it outdoors it gets too bright (almost white, you appear to be in heaven heh). i've tried to change the position of the (incident light) level screw but it does nothing (?) this lens (fujinon yv2.7x2.9la-sa2l) has an nd-t360 filter so i find it even more strange.. what could i be doing wrong?
