automatically adjusted to produce a constant video output as determined by the Level
setting below. In the Off mode, auto iris is disabled, and control is always manual. Move the
joystick up or down to toggle between Auto and Off. Press the Iris Open button to select the
choice, or press the Iris Close button if you do not want to change the setting.
LEVEL - The cursor moves to a numeric value, which the Spectra II™ dome uses to try to

auto iris mode is too bright or too dark. Move the joystick up or down to a value. Press the
Iris Open button to select the value, or press the Iris Close button if you do not want to
change the setting.
