[. . . ] The level value as well as the triangle cursors on the sensitivity curve graph move according to the difference in the number of steps (EV scale) that is entered. NOTE! The size relationship between the five points is in order from dynamic range (-) clipping point (-) Middle Tone clipping point (+) dynamic range (+), so the level value input or the cursor movement cannot deviate from this order. Reference The operations in [ I ], [ II ] and [ III ] in the seinsitivity curve graph display screen are mutually connected. If you make a change to one of them, the result is reflected in all of them. A rough summary of the dynamic range and clipping point settings is given below. 1) Dynamic range: Range of the number of exposure steps that can be reproduced on the digital camera being used, from the shadow areas to the highlight areas. Set the highest value in Dynamic range (+) and set the darkest shadow value in Dynamic range (-). 2) Clipping point : Area where the contrast between light and dark in an image is clear with respect to the changes in EV values. Set the two end points in the area on the sensitivity curve graph where the slope of the curve is linear (straight line). Note that the change between light and dark in the image (contrast) between the dynamic range and the clipping point is more gradual with respect to the changes in EV values. * If you need to consider standards for printing, you can set the level values that can be rendered during printing in the clipping points, and set the dynamic ranges outside of clipping points. It is easier to use the triangle cursors (4) to set the level values at the clipping points and dynamic ranges based on the characteristic curve graph. If the clipping poits and dynamic ranges are decided in advance, it is convenient to set by entering numbers directly 7. (In the Windows version, a red checkmark is placed next to the ISO. ) The ISOs in black are calculated values obtained through simulation. 2. Graph display Select the profile you want to view in "Profile Name". Select the camera exposure profile from the Profile Name pull-down menu. Then make selections in Light Source, Measuring Mode and ISO sensitivity. . Select Profile Name Select Light Source Select Measuring Mode Select ISO Sensivility The widths of the dynamic range and the clipping point in the camera exposure profile are indicated by the number of exposure steps (EV scale) at the bottom of the graph. To print, click the Print button. To continue, follow the instructions for your printer to make the settings. Click the Preview button to preview the print. Reference The graph of the measured values obtained from the exposure data is displayed in solid lines, and the graph of the calculated values obtained through simulation is displayed in dotted lines. The simulation calculates the difference in EV between two ISOs with actual measurements when a difference in EV in the dynamic range and clipping point occurs between two ISOs so that the change is uniform. (2) Multiple Profiles Click the View Profile Data / Print button in the Main screen. Camera Comparison Allows you to display and compare the sensitivity curves from multiple camera exposure profiles in the same graph. ISOs Comparison Allows you to display and compare the sensitivity curves for each ISO in a single camera exposure profile in the same graph. 1. Camera Comparison display Make selections in the Light Source, Measuring Mode and ISO sensitivity. [. . . ] They will come in handy as you look for information in this troubleshooting guide and if you need to contact Sekonic. Make sure you first select "About EDGECRAFT Data Transfer Software" in the "Data Transfer Software" menu on the Macintosh computer to find out which version you are using. In the Windows version, click on "About EDGECRAFT Data Transfer Software" in the "Help" menu to check the version of the software. Problem The installer does not start up automatically. Screen text characters are corrupted. Cannot enter a file name. Recommended Action Navigate to the CD-ROM on your computer and double-click "AutoRun". [. . . ]
