INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9979 2892 50/12984 Printed in Germany 3 For proper and safe use Read and understand all warnings and cautions before using this product. WARNING · Use only within the voltage range specified on the unit. Inappropriate current may cause damage or injury through fire or electric shock. · Use only the specified AC adapter (Ya Hsin Industrial 092-240840) within the voltage range indicated on the adapter unit. [. . . ] Color depth: this option specifies the color depth of the scanned image between 8 bit, 16 bit, and 16-bit linear for each RGB channel. Because 16-bit linear color depth does not make any gamma corrections, the scan of a negative produces a negative image. 16-bit and 16-bit linear images can only be saved in the TIFF file format. Some imageprocessing application cannot open 16-bit image files such as Adobe Phototshop Elements 2. 0. Multi-sample scan: multi-sample scans reduce random noise in the image by analyzing the data of each sample scan; 2, 4, 8, and 16 samples can be made. The more samples taken, the less random noise in the image and the longer the scanning time. Color matching: to specify the output color space and monitor ICC profile. Help button: to open the help window. Setting scanner preferences Click the preferences button in the main window to open the preferences dialog box. Exposure control for negatives: autoexposure adjusts the scan to compensate for the density of the negative. The manual setting uses a fixed exposure regardless of the density of the film. Since the density range of slides is relatively uniform, adjusting the exposure for each slide is usually unnecessary. However, when scanning an underexposed or overexposed slide, the autoexposure system can compensate for the unusual image density. The appearance of the manual-focus button in the prescan tab changes when active. Autofocus at scan: this option activates the autofocus function during the prescan and final scan. When using Digital ICE, ROC, and GEM, the use of autofocus is recommended. Prescan after point AF: the scanner automatically makes a prescan after the focus point is specified with point AF. Index scan at loading: the scanner automatically makes an index scan each time a film holder is inserted into the scanner. Scanner Notes When the autofocus-at-scan option is selected in the preferences window, the autofocus system uses the center of image to determine focus. This normally results in an excellent scan when the film plane is flat. However, if the film is warped or curled, the scanner can be focused using point AF or manual focus (p. The use of autofocus, manual focus dial, autoexposure, color depth, multi-sample scanning, and color matching is indicated. Color matching is indicated by the color space or monitor color profile. Preference display 40 Advanced scanning 41 Exposure-control tab The exposure-control tab allows the scanner's exposure system to be customized to specific films, lighting, or a personal exposure index based on the film, processing, lens, and shutter combination. This can also be used to compensate for badly exposed film. Saving exposure settings Click the save setting button to open the save window. Simply click the exposure-control tab to display the selected image.
