appear on the displays.
These values can be programmed by the user, see

density values” on page 39.
NOTE The exposure values are programmed corresponding
the density value 0 (factory preset value). The expo-
sure time values are automatically scaled according
to the density value.
NOTE These values are for speed F films (Kodak Insight).
For the speed E films (Kodak Ektaspeed) select 1 step
longer and for the speed D films 4 steps longer expo-
sure time.
NOTE The following exposure values need 8 mA.
NOTE The preprogrammed default exposure values are for
the 20 cm (8”) cone. When using the 30 cm long cone,
use the exposure values given in the table below.
NOTE When using the digital sensor change the exposure
values by pressing the MODE key.
