• Choose an Exposure Metering system (see page 7-8 ).
• Set the AF Area mode (see page 8-2 ).
• If you have used a memory card for several sessions (two or three
dozen), you may want to format it on the camera you will be using so
that the full capacity of the card is available and the Recover Card
feature will function.
• Insert each memory card to be used and check the Back Status LCD to
be sure there is adequate space available. Delete images if necessary
(see
page 11-11 ).
• Choose a capture folder (see page 6-9 ) and a file type (see page 6-3 ).
• Set ISO (see page 5-20 ) based on available light.
• Set up White Balance (see page 7-1 ).
To set up White Balance on the camera, select an image with a
MACBETH color chart, a gray card or a neutral area in the image, then
perform Click Balance.
To set up White Balance in the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photo Desk
software, capture an image of a MACBETH color chart, a gray or white
card, then adjust later using the software.
• Set up Job Tracker (see page 5-9 ), if needed.
