EXPOSURE VALUES
User’s Manual
13.2 Preprogrammed settings values
NOTE Two sets of exposure values (time/kV/mA) have been
programmed for each exposure region: one for adult
mode and one for child mode.
NOTE The exposure time values are programmed corre-
sponding the present density value.
The exposure time values are automatically scaled
according to the density value. If you select a density
value other than 0, the new values are shown both in
programming and exposure mode.
These values can be programmed by the user, see
section 14.2 “Programming the preprogrammed settings”
on page 41. The recommended exposure values are
given in section 17 “EXPOSURE VALUE TABLES” on
page 44.
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 values in the following three tables correspond to
the density value 0.
When using the 30 cm long cone program the values
according to the table given in section 17 “EXPOSURE
VALUE TABLES” on page 44 or select three steps darker
density (longer exposure time).
