Robin Phillips Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I just got some overscanned film back shot on my Xtera, and I've noticed a subtle hue/exposure shift every 12 frames or so. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the warmer frames correlates to the Aatoncode stamping on the film. (Additionally the red aatoncode is a little fuzzy) Anyone know if theres an end user way to either disable or dim the Aatoncode writing lights?

Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted June 22, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2019 Ohh interesting! Sounds like your emitter has a light leak of some kind. I've seen emitters fall out of position entirely and do all sorts of weird things. Unfortunately, the emitter is on all the time, it's just one MORE during aaton code writing, which the camera does not do unless you have a programmer tool. You can try taking a little piece of rubber and sticking it in the hole, making sure it's nowhere near the film plane. That should gum up the works enough to stop that from happening.
