Photographic film analyzer with simulator and film inspecting method

摘要

Developed photographic film has frames of a 35 mm full size and of a panoramic size recorded thereon. A panoramic frame is detected in a photographic printer. A masking is set on the panoramic frame as detected so as to mask the frame. Photometry and pick-up of the panoramic frame is performed while the panoramic frame stands masked by the masking. Photometry of the panoramic frame as masked is performed. On the basis of the photometric value, exposure information is calculated. A finished image is simulated and displayed on a monitor CRT as picked up, in simulation according to the exposure information. The panoramic frame is inspected through the simulated finished image. The masking is retracted from the panoramic frame. The monitor CRT displays a simulated finished image while the masking stands retracted. For a frame of a wide-vision size an a frame designated for pseudo-zooming printing, similar operation is performed for simulation.
