Defines a test target and a method for checking the optical and mechanical performances of rotary cameras used for producing 16 mm microfilm.

This International Standard specifies a test target and a method for checking the optical and mechanical performances of rotary cameras used for producing 16mm microfilm.

This test target and method can be used for

• evaluating the performance of cameras (e.g. before purchase to establish initial reference),

• acceptance tests (e.g. confirming purchase specifications after maintenance), and

• routine checking (e.g. weekly or monthly).

NOTE The characteristics of a rotary camera are indicated in AnnexA.
