Short summary
The size-of-source effect (SSE) is a systematic error requiring slow labor-intensive measurements. We propose a continuous approach using an iris diaphragm. Our method matched the accuracy of the traditional discrete method while providing more data and a reduction in measurement time. The method has no significant sensitivity to frame rate changes. Transient responses were observed using a neutral density filter, raising questions on how to measure and correct SSE in such configurations.
