first press SET, then go to the appropriate button. Information is
changed by either toggling that button or by rotating the jog, de-
pending on the parameter. Pressing SET afterwards (or waiting for 7
seconds) will enter your selection.
Capped text ( SYNC, EX/VAR, ISO, MAG) refers to those func-
tions adjustable while in the SET mode; standard text (Fps/Ft, time,
batt/iso, elapse) refers to those functions accessible directly in the
default Show mode.
Note that, while viewing a Show function on the control panel, any
inactivity longer than 10 seconds will revert the display back to its
default mode (speed and remaining footage). As mentioned pre-
viously, any break longer than 7 seconds while in SET mode will au-
tomatically enter the last selection.
The following parameters can be accessed from the LCD control pa-
nel in conjunction with the jog. For more concise information, see
the table in the System Features and Controls chapter of this ma-
nual.
2.10.3 Aatonite
In its default mode, the Jog controls the level of Aatonite viewing
screen illumination from zero to full brightness.
2.10.4 AatonCode
As a standard feature, the XTRprod is equipped with the capability
of recording AatonCode in-camera time. Timecode information is
exposed onto the film by means of seven micro-diodes, which are re-
layed, by means of fiber optics, into the gate above the claw to the
right of the aperture opening. These micro-diodes flash rapidly to
form the code as the film rolls through the gate between exposures.
For more elaborate information regarding the uses and functioning
of AatonCode, OriginCplus and other related devices, refer to the
AatonCode chapter of this manual.
If AatonCode has been initialized in the camera, press button Time
to view timecode information. Toggling button Time will display
hour/minute/second, then year/month/day, then the six-digit pro-

Adustment Tips
While adjusting the sensitivity
of the lightmeter, you may
wish to use your direct view of
the display through the body's
top cavity for reference. If so,
there are a few points to
remember:
• Because the image is inverted
without the viewfinder in pla-
ce, your adjustments will move
in the opposite direction than
what is seen through the fin-
der.
• Since the cavity is open, light
will enter through this ope-
ning, making any reading inac-
curate by 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop.
Therefore, only use the direct
view of the display to reference
the number of diodes adjusted.
Always check your final adjust-
ment with the viewfinder in
place.
