Measuring an Internegative - continued
Step 6 - When the reading is completed, the
display will indicate which step pair will be
used on subsequent calculations.
•Pressing the [view] key allows viewing
of density difference numbers (refer to
Section 1.1).
•Pressing the [+Step-] key allows
viewing of the individual steps on the
strip (refer to Section 1.2)
•Pressing the [auto] key performs filter
pack and exposure calculations
automatically (refer to Section 1.3).
›If the strip is severely over exposed, the warning message
"STRIP TOO FAR OVEREXPOSED" will appear briefly. You will
then be allowed to view the individual steps using [+]or [-]
step keys, but will not be able to use the view and auto
functions. If this happens, reduce your exposure by three or
four stops and try another strip.
1.1 View (continued from Step 5 in Section 1)
The View function allows you to view the density difference values and recommended
filter pack changes. Density difference values are calculated by simply subtracting the
density values of the higher numbered step from the densities of the lower numbered
step. These are used to look up your filter pack changes from the table.
Step 6 - Press [∆fp] key to get the filter pack
changes from the internal table and
display them.
›These numbers are changes (indicated by the Greek letter
∆) and should be added to the filter pack which was used
for exposing this internegative.
Step 7 - Press [∆den] key to display the density
difference values again.
Step 8 - Press [exit] to return to the Step Pair
Menu so that further viewing or
calculations can be performed.
