Gossen Sixtomat flash - Manual (Page 18)

18 GOSSEN Foto- und Lichtmeßtechnik GmbH
We recommend the following procedure:
Take the readings of a few normal subjects with
the utmost care by the reflected and incident light
measuring methods, and take five shots of each
subject on colour reversal film. The first picture
should be exposed with the exposure settings
supplied by the SIXTOMAT flash. The exposure
settings for the remaining shots are then
increased and decreased, respectively, by half
an f-stop and then a full f-stop. Make a note of
the shooting conditions. These must not change
while the five shots are being taken. Now select
from the processed pictures the one you consi-
der to be optimal and compare its settings with
the meter readings.
If you find that you prefer exposures taken with
settings that differ from those supplied by the
meter, then these settings can be programmed
into your SIXTOMAT flash. With your correction,
the SIXTOMAT flash will give precise readings to
produce optimal exposure results.
