Field of View
The camera’s field of view be re-adjusted in order to accommodate the ergonomic requirements of the operator. Locate the two black thumb screws near where the camera carriage arm attaches to the column. Loosen these thumb screws to unlock the carriage extension, then use the large handle underneath the carriage to extend the camera outward, toward the operator.
Camera Carriage Travel
All DT Auto-Columns include two physical limit switches. After aligning the camera, re-position the lower limit switch to accommodate the extended length of the camera with extension tubes and the closer working distances required by film. Ensure that the camera will not collide with the digitization material or the film stage. Loosen the two thumb screws then slide the limit switch into the new desired position.
