Adjusting The Aatonite (Glow); The Test Mode - AAton Penelope User Manual

TEST mode
TEST mode allows you to open the shutter and keep it protected inside the
camera body. This mode is used to check the gate cleanliness and to find the
image while doing a steadiness test (which allows you to find the correct film
position for the second exposure).
To access TEST mode, press the «Start/Stop» button (A) - located on the
assistant side of the camera - and hold it pressed for 3 to 4 seconds. When
the shutter opens, you can release the button. If you need to inch the camera
frame by frame, press the middle display key (B) located on the cameraman
side. When you need to leave the TEST mode, press the «Start/Stop» button
again for 3 to 4 seconds.

Adjusting the Aatonite (glow)

Penelope features a viewing screen with illuminated markings referred to as
Aatonite. The level of illumination is user adjustable using the «middle» (B) and
«upper» (C) display keys located on the cameraman side. The configuration of
illuminated markings will differ slightly from one screen to another. Refer to the
screen illustration of the ground glasses list, for a specific description of each
screen type, along with its corresponding Aatonite markings.
Note : the illumination level can also be adjusted while the camera is running.
