Additional Calibration Information

Creating a Density File for Use with Calibration

During calibration, you have the option of obtaining density data from a file or by scanning a processed test target through an X-RITE DTP 36 densitometer. The option is determined by the entry in the calibration configuration file. If the configuration file is set up to receive density data from a file and you are creating the file:

1.Scan the print into your densitometer.

2.Save the data to file using the density data file format specification (see “File Formats” below). The Kodak Calibration Software does not perform this function.

3.Move the density data file that you just saved to the folder or path selected on the Density Source tab of the Edit Configuration screen (see “Editing Information on the Density Source Tab” on page C-24).

File Formats

NOTE: If a file contains data in a tabular format, each entry may be separated by multiple spaces and tabs; however, when the file is saved by the application, each group of multiple spaces and tabs is automatically converted to a single tab.

20R specifications

The Kodak 20R is a notable addition to the realm of portable photographic technology, making it a favorite among amateur and professional photographers alike. Introduced during a period of resurgence in film photography, the Kodak 20R exemplifies the perfect blend of classic design and innovative features aimed at enhancing user experience and image quality.

At its core, the Kodak 20R employs a reliable 35mm film format, a staple in the industry that ensures compatibility with a wide range of lenses and accessories.

The camera’s compact design makes it easy to carry, making it the perfect companion for travel, street photography, and candid shots.

One of the standout features of the Kodak 20R is its integrated light meter, which aids in achieving optimal exposure. The meter is designed to read various lighting conditions accurately, ensuring that images captured have the right balance of highlights and shadows. This eliminates the guesswork commonly associated with manual settings, catering to both novices and seasoned photographers.

The camera also boasts a fixed lens with a versatile focal length, which is well-suited for a variety of photography styles. Its fast maximum aperture allows for improved low-light performance and the ability to achieve a pleasing bokeh effect, helping subjects stand out against beautifully blurred backgrounds.

Another remarkable aspect of the Kodak 20R is its straightforward operational interface, which encourages users to focus on composition rather than overwhelming technical settings. The intuitive controls allow for quick adjustments, promoting a more fluid photography experience. Additionally, the camera is constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability in diverse shooting environments.

The Kodak 20R's shutter mechanism is engineered for precision, providing a robust performance that minimizes vibrations. This feature is critical for achieving sharp images, particularly at slower shutter speeds or with longer focal lengths.

Overall, the Kodak 20R encapsulates a return to form in film photography, offering essential features that appeal to a broad audience. With its combination of vintage charm and modern functionality, it remains a cherished tool for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the art of photography. For those eager to explore the world of film or revisit its timeless qualities, the Kodak 20R presents an inviting opportunity.
