TAKING A STEP TEST

■ TAKING A STEP TEST
A step test can be taken by using the Leader/Trailer Key (Variable Setting).
This test verifies the exposure condition by filming a single document consecutively for a number of frames. A step
test is necessary when a different film is used, when a different processing chemical is used, and when the film unit
is new.
■ Procedure:
Following filming, develop images to check for exposure conditions and determine the best setting.
If a good result is not obtained in the Auto Exposure Mode, use the Manual Exposure Mode.
