operates in two modes: Show and SET. To show a parameter

without adjusting, go directly to one of the four function buttons (1

through 4 in the diagram) to view relative information. To set a

parameter, ﬁrst press SET, then go to the appropriate button.

Information is changed by either toggling that button or by rotating

the jog, depending on the parameter. Pressing SET afterwards (or

waiting for 7 seconds) will enter your selection.

Capped text ( SYNC, EX/VAR, ISO, MAG) refers to those

functions adjustable while in the SET mode; standard text (Fps/Ft,

time, batt/iso, elapse) refers to those functions accessible directly in

the default Show mode.

Note that, while viewing a Show function on the control panel, any

inactivity longer than 10 seconds will revert the display back to its

default mode (speed and remaining footage). As mentioned

previously, any break longer than 7 seconds while in SET mode will

automatically enter the last selection.

The following parameters can be accessed from the LCD control

panel in conjunction with the jog. For more concise information,

see the table in the System Features and Controls chapter of this

manual.

2.10.3 Aatonite

In its default mode, the Jog controls the level of Aatonite viewing

screen illumination from zero to full brightness.

2.10.4 AatonCode

As a standard feature, the XTRprod is equipped with the capability

of recording AatonCode in-camera time. Timecode information is

exposed onto the ﬁlm by means of seven micro-diodes, which are

relayed, by means of ﬁber optics, into the gate above the claw to the

right of the aperture opening. These micro-diodes ﬂash rapidly to

form the code as the ﬁlm rolls through the gate between exposures.

For more elaborate information regarding the uses and functioning

of AatonCode, OriginCplus and other related devices, refer to the

AatonCode chapter of this manual.

Adustment Tips

While adjusting the sensitivity

of the lightmeter, you may

wish to use your direct view of

the display through the body's

top cavity for reference. If so,

there are a few points to

remember:

• Because the image is inverted

without the viewﬁnder in

place, your adjustments will

move in the opposite direction

than what is seen through the

ﬁnder.

• Since the cavity is open, light

will enter through this

opening, making any reading

inaccurate by 1/3 to 2/3 of a

stop. Therefore, only use the

direct view of the display to

reference the number of diodes

adjusted. Always check your

ﬁnal adjustment with the

viewﬁnder in place.
