5.3. Modifying Exposure Parameters
The exposure parameters programmed in the console should be suitable for most
of the applications. However, they may be modified to fine tune the exposure.
The following section explains this procedure.

mS highlighted
Return to Home Screen (if required)
Highlight the parameter
Press SEL key to highlight the parameter that
needs to be modified.
NOTE
The mS parameter is highlighted by default
following power up or a change in pre-set
mode or pre-set. The highlighting loops in
the order, mS > kV > mA > mS.

Modify the parameter
Press UP/DOWN keys the required number of
times to change the highlighted parameter. The
parameter being changed blinks to indicate the
operation.
NOTE
The ‘READY’ icon disappears to indicate
that an exposure is not possible until the
change is accepted/rejected.

modified and accepted, kV
highlighted.
Accept / Reject the change
Press SET key to accept the new value or SEL
to discard the change. Either way, the console
highlights the next parameter automatically.
NOTE
Screen on the left shows the result of pressing SET key. The
‘READY’ icon re-appears to indicate that the system is ready for
an exposure. Changes made to exposure parameters of custom
modes are automatically saved to console memory, while the
change made to other preset modes are restored on power off.
