https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_shot
"iris out" and "iris in" are usually noun phrases -- "the film ends with an iris out" -- that encourage the belief in "iris" can act as a verb with "in" or "out" as its adverb: "let's end the film by irising out"

The f-stop aperture of cameras was known as an iris decades before sci-fi got hold of the term.https://tubularinsights.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/f-stop-scale.gif

the element in a camera is anyway transferred from the anatomical region that surrounds the pupil in the eye, so-called (since 1525 via SOED) bcz it is rainbow coloured, iris being the greek goddess of the rainbow -- and "irised" did actually pre-exist (acc.SOED, i've never spotted it) as a poetic verb meaning "exhibited the characteristics of a rainbow"
so there's a quadruple meaning transference, which is fun: from name-of-a-god to colour quality to mechanism (purposive-muscular) to mechanism (purposive-mechanical) to mechanism (similar mechanism different purpose)

there's a lot of lidar talk in 1491! which, okay, does read a bit like science fiction in places
