Understanding the calibration policy
Manual or automatic film calibration
You should regularly perform a film calibration to assure that the image
quality is still optimal.
Film calibration can be initiated in 2 ways:
• Automatically, i.e. after loading a new film pack (frequency is adjustable),
• Manually, i.e. you decide for yourself when to perform a film calibration, e.g.
daily, once a week or only when the image quality tends to degrade.
For setting automatic or manual film calibration, refer to ‘Changing general
image quality settings’ on page 85.
