9.6 Taking an exposure with Autofocus
NOTE
Autofocus is an optional feature for Planmeca ProMax 2D
S3 units. It is available for standard, interproximal and
orthogonal panoramic programs.
NOTE
To turn Autofocus on, select Settings > Program > 2200
Program Features > Autofocus ON.
NOTE
The layer light is switched off when Autofocus is selected.
NOTE
If Autofocus is selected, DEC is automatically switched off
for the first exposure (scout image).
1. Select the Autofocus button.
Autofocus adjusts the layer position automatically.
The function positions the image layer individually for
each patient based on the position and angle of the
apices of the upper central incisors.
The exposure is taken in two stages and the C-arm
moves twice.
2. Take the first exposure as described in section 9.5
“Taking an exposure” on page 38. The first exposure
is a short, low-dose exposure during which the
optimal position for the image layer is calculated.
3. The image appears on the touch screen and on the
computer screen. The calculated layer position is
shown with a white line on the image.
