4)
Click the calculate button to measure the image.
5)
After measuring, check the “G” values.
Average “G” value of the three images shoot with master lens:
(a)
Average “G” value of the three images shoot with checking lens: (b)
Fig.4-2-7
3. Checking Method
1)
Calculate aperture error using the following formula, and check that the aperture error is within the specification.
Aperture error = Average “G” value of checking lens (b) - Average “G” value of master lens (a)
Specification
Aperture error = 0
±12
2)
When the aperture error is out of specification, perform “4-2-2. Aperture Diameter Adjustment”.
