MEMORIES
Introduction
Description
The timer’s memory feature lets you program and play back the sequence of base,
dodge and burn exposures you use to make a print.
The timer has 15 memory banks of 20 steps each. You can keep multiple
prints/programs in a single memory bank.
When you use the memory, the timer displays the step number, the type of
exposure and the exposure value. As each exposure is made the timer
automatically advances to the next exposure. At the completion of all the steps the
timer resets itself back to the first step.
The memory is nonvolatile. The timer will remember your programs with the power
off for up to 100 years.
Uses
The memory feature is useful for:
• Making multiple prints from the same negative. The printing process goes
faster: You don’t have to cycle the timer through base/dodge/burn steps and
for prints with multiple dodges and burns; You don’t have to enter the values
for each exposure and so the chances for error are minimized. Production
printing becomes a process of waving your hands to dodge and burn and
tapping your foot to move to the next step.
• Designing a print. Add and modify exposures one at a time as you settle on
the dodges and burns needed to get to the print you want. The timer keeps
accurate notes for you by remembering the exposures you used.
• Complex printing. Make sure all steps are included and made at the correct
exposure by programming the timer before printing.
• Split-grade printing. The timer has special provisions for split grade printing.
The high and low contrast filter exposures are maintained separately and can
be set to track each other, thus allowing separate control of exposure and
contrast. Each filter can have its own dodge and burn sequence and graded
dodge and burn exposures can be programmed that track either the high or
low contrast channel.
