This gives you the following auto exposure options.
Iris
This setting automatically adjusts the aperture to maintain a constant exposure, while
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.
While in the iris menu, tap 'auto exposure' to access iris based auto exposure modes
When an auto exposure mode that effects the iris is enabled, a small 'A' will appear next to the
iris indicator at the top of your URSA Mini touchscreen.
TIP
Automatic exposure works smoothly with compatible B4 or PL lenses which are
designed for video or film production. EF lenses may produce noticeable 'steps' in
exposure when changing aperture. For this reason, we recommend using only 'shutter'
auto exposure mode if shooting on URSA Mini EF.
Duration Display
At the top of your URSA Mini LCD touchscreen, you'll see your camera's duration display.
Your URSA Mini's duration display. This will turn red while recording
The duration display provides a timecode counter for checking the duration of your clips and
monitoring timecode during recording and playback. The counter displays a time sequence
showing Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames and will progress through the sequence as you record
or play back clips. The timecode will turn red during recording.
The displayed duration of each clip starts from 00:00:00:00 for each clip. The clip duration of
the current, or last recorded, clip is displayed on the touchscreen. Time of day timecode is
embedded into clips for easier post production.
To see the timecode, simply tap the duration display. Tap the duration display again to return
to clip duration.
