Shutter Timing

Shutter Timing

Shutter timing is the shutter speed adjustment, slit width. 

• The cameras lens is set wide open and its shutter speed is set to give the correct exposure for the Light Boxes Ev setting.  
• The cameras histogram will center if the shutter speed is correct.  
• If the histogram doesn't center, the camera needs a Shutter Timing Adjustment.

Notes

• Although shutter timing is overall and meant to bring the high speed into adjustment, fine tweaking the timing allows some linearity.
• The forward and trail edges of the histogram indicate curtain travel time balance.
• With increasing frequency replacing the shutter requires high-speed adjustment
