2. AN EXAMINATION OF THE TWO REPRODUCTIONS RECEIVED INDICATE
THE FOLLOWING:
A. THE DENSITY AND THE RESOLUTION ARE BETTER ON THE FIRST
PASS O^? THIS MISSION. THE HIGH CONTRAST AND DENSITY ON THE
SECOND PASS INTRODUCES A GRANULAR APPEARANCE IN THE REPRODUCTIONS
CAUSING A LOSS IN RESOLUTION (EXAMPLE: FRAMES 213/214 VERSUS
773/774).
F. THE REPRODUCTIONS FROM, THE AFT CAMERA (EVEN NUMBERED
FRAMES) PROVIDE BETTER RESOLUTIONS THAN THE FWD CAMERA. EXAMPLES:
-244T-S) 225/226; 265/266; 367/368; 397/397; 735/736.
C . THE DATA BLOCK IS NOT CONSISTENTLY SHARP. MtUI J A 7R~2 THE INFORMATION IS DIFFICULT TO READ AND THE CLOCK IS
DEFINITELY OUT OF FOCUS.
3. THE SHUTTER SPEED (1/170) DOES NOT APPEAR TO INTRODUCE SMEAR.
ISOLATED INSTANCE OF ROLL SMEAR WAS DETECTED IN FRAME 609
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A TURN.
4. A COMPLETE EVALUATION WILL BE MADE UPON RECEIPT OF THE
0PI3INAL NEGATIVE.
