The DPC function is a correction function to help the user to use the SD-29 satisfactorily.
(The DPC function works to allow the SD-29 to carry out detection with stability even when the quantity of
light received by the sensor varies due to cloth chips or oil gathering on the sensor head, bobbin case sur-
face and/or reflective plate.)
