3.4.4 Important remarks concerning

correction values

The SIXTOMAT flash is a precision meter cali-
brated with great accuracy to provide exact ex-
posure data. Should you still not be satisfied with
the results, then you should remember that there
are independent variables that can influence the
success of your exposures.

For instance:
– the „true“ speed of your film can deviate from

that on the pack

– the „true“ shutter speeds and f-stops

on your camera can differ slightly form
the rated values

– Deviations can arise when the film is processed

To above must be added purely subjective fac-
tors and matters of personal preference in the
assessment of the finished photos. However,
you can calibrate your SIXTOMAT flash to cha-
racteristics of your camera, your brand of film,
your processing methods, and to your projector.
