Sur certains appareils, le choix de la combinaison est automatique. Ce sont ceux dont les réglages portent un indice nommé indice de lumination. Celui-ci provient du couplage du diaphragme et de l'obturateur. C'est une mesure qui donne une véritable synthèse de la luminosité. 3, record 1, French, - indice%20de%20lumination

A lens in which the Iris is motor driven. The lens opening is dictated by the camera which tries to maintain an optimum picture by telling the lens to open more in the dark and close down in higher light levels. If the light level is constant then a fixed Iris lens is recommended (much cheaper). 1, record 6, English, - auto%2Diris%20lens

Objectif dont le diaphragme est actionné par un moteur. L’ouverture du diaphragme est réglée par la caméra de façon à maintenir la meilleure image possible. La caméra commande une ouverture plus ou moins grande, en rapport inverse avec l’intensité de la lumière.
