Electronic Cinematography
Electronic Cinematography, which are available in zoom
or prime, and are designed to accept film camera
accessories. They have large focus, iris, and zoom
scales, and incorporate both motorized and manual
controls. Rather than f-stops, the iris settings are
calibrated in the similar, but somewhat more accurate Tstops. (T-stops are based on the actual light
transmission of the lens at various openings, and not
simply on a iris opening diameter formula. Since
different lenses can vary in light transmission, even at
the same f-stop, T-stop settings are more consistently
37 accurate when used with different lenses.
