This FotodioX 12-Pin Hirose to D-Tap Power Cable ENG Lensprovides power to your ENG lens, supporting the powered servo-controlled functions. This is invaluable when you mount your B-Mount ENG-style lens on a camera that does not support lens control through an external Hirose connection. The D-Tap cable connects to your D-Tap battery and powers your lens' servo functions, such as zoom, focus, and iris. This will allow you to use the lens' built-in servo controls or even a remote servo controller if your lens supports one, but it will not enable functions usually controlled by the camera, such as auto iris, to work.

Q: 7. I don't see an ISO setting. There's a gain setting but I need to sync the settings to a light meter.

A: Traditionally, video cameras do not have ISO ratings because they didn't work like film cameras. Since there is no listed ISO for this camcorder, you will have to create your own ISO. Do to that: hang and evenly light a 18% grey card and fill the camera frame with grey. Set the camera to 0 gain, no filter, no shutter, auto exposure. Set your meter to 60th of a second or 30FPS with 180 degree shutter. Now dial the meter's ISO up and down until you match the camera's f/stop. That is your ISO. Over on the gain switch, 6db doubles that ISO number and the 12db quadruples it. I suspect you will want to only use 0db and on occasion go to 6db with 12db used only in emergency.
