Section 3: Adjusting Exposure and Film Image Density
If Image is Too Light
Figure 11
Adjusting the Density Setting
[1] Press the DENSITY INCREASE BUTTON to increase the exposure and darken the density of the image on the
film.
Important
Only the DENSITY SETTING selected will be displayed on the LCD. The other settings will appear as black circles.
Figure 10 shows all the settings to help orient you to the way the DENSITY BUTTONS work, showing the range of
settings from 1 (lightest) to 10 (darkest). The DENSITY INCREASE BUTTON features “wrap around” DENSITY
SETTINGS. If you press the DENSITY INCREASE BUTTON after Setting 10 is selected, Setting 1 will be selected
next, decreasing the density.
Note
You can use the smallest size cassette available when adjusting exposure to reduce the cost of film consumed during
this procedure.
[2] Load the CASSETTE with film.
[3] Record the DENSITY SETTING on the ID CARD.
[4] Expose the CASSETTE and process the film.
[5] Repeat Steps 2 through 4, if necessary. Compare the images and select the best DENSITY SETTING. Record
the DENSITY SETTING selected, for future reference.
