Small Format Film Forum

I'd like to shoot my next film on Ektachrome 100D using my Bauer 715 XLS. Unfortunately this camera only accepts 40 and 160 ASA (CC Filter off), therefore when using the new 100 D you have to manually override the automatic exposure about two thirds of a stop more open than indicated; this is a bit annoying so I'd like the camera to evaluate the correct aperture fully automatically. To do this I need to locate the precise trimming pot on the main board inside the camera. It's not a problem for me to open it, to set up a proper way to figure out the required compensation BUT I have to know which trimmer does what. Since there are several ones, in order to avoid messing something, I'd like someone to tell/show me which is the relevant trimmer. Thank you.

Hello Mauricio,

I think this is the link you need:

Succes !

Thank you very much, Alexander! Very useful, even if I think the writer of the section has made a mistake: the rilevant trimmer is not the first from the left but the second one! At least on my camera, the first trimmer doesn't seem to have any effect on the aperture, while the second one's action is evident. Nonetheless this link provided an excellent starting point and now my "715" works perfectly with the Ekta 100 D.

Thank you again!!
