ton ot by rotating the jog, depending on the parameter. Pressing
SET afterwards (or waiting for 7 seconds) will enter your selection.
Capped text (SYNC, VAR, ISO) refers to those functions adjustable
while in the SET mode; standard text (Speed, Time, Iso/Batt) refers
to those functions accessible directly in the default Show mode.
Note that, while viewing a Show function on the control panel, any
inactivity longer than 10 seconds will revert the display back to its
default mode (speed and remaining footage). As mentioned pre-
viously, any break longer than 7 seconds while in SET mode will
automatically enter the last selection.
The following parameters can be accessed from the LCD control
panel in conjunction with the jog. For more concise information see
the table in the System Features and Controls chapter of this
manual.
2.9.3 AatonCode
As a standard feature the AATON 35-III is equipped with the capa-
bility of recording AatonCode in-camera time. TimeCode informa-
tion is exposed onto the film by optical projection of seven micro-
diodes into the gate to the left of the aperture opening. These
micro-diodes flash rapidly to form the code as the film rolls through
the gate between exposures.
AatonCode is initialized in the camera, in ASCII or SMPTE form,
through the Lemo5 connector located to the righ of the LCD
control panel. For the most straightforward and reliable communi-
cation, OriginCplus, Aaton’s masterclock, comparator, and SMPTE
generator device, should be used.
If AatonCode has been initialized in the camera, press button Time
to view timecode information. Toggling button Time will display
hours/minutes/seconds, then year/month/day, then the six-digit pro-
duction ID, then the camera’s equipment #, in that order.
2.9.4 ASA Setting
When using AatonCode in the AATON 35-III, the ASA(ISO) set-
ting must be adjusted to the exposure index of the film stock being
