Advance to dodging and set the shortest dodge exposure. Insert all dodgers and expose. Set the next longest dodge exposure. Remove the dodger for the exposure just made, leaving the remaining dodger(s) in place.
- Page 6 Burning Make a base exposure or dodge/finish exposure. Advance to burn - the display will show a ‘b’. Set the number of stops to burn. Insert the burning card and make the exposure. Repeat as needed: set burn exposure; expose. Burns can be made in any order.
