Timer (Models AMT & ATS only) To time your slides, use the timer switch for slide changes from 3 to 22 seconds. When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i. e. , the smaller the f/number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated mounting process, provide superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the best choice for glass-mounted slides. 1.
