Camera settings for range of
reductions and enlargements
The table below indicates the correct
column and bellows settings for reduc-
tions. The table on the facing page is
used for enlargements; this table in-
cludes the bellows settings only. With
reduction work, the image is sized by
adjusting the bellows, then focused by
adjusting the camera
height.
Important: The column settings are
used for flat subjects placed directly on
the baseboard. If photographing three-
dimensional subjects, or subjects that
are raised above the baseboard, the
camera must be raised to ensure
correct focus.
1. Column must be rotated to increase film-to-subject distance; available on XLR Model only.
