Loading film holders

Handling film

To achieve the best possible reproduction from the scanner, the film and film holder should be free from dust and dirt. Always work with processed film in a clean, dust-free environment. Handle film by the edges or mount to prevent fingerprints and dirt marring the image area. Special lint-free gloves are available from photographic equipment retailers for film handling as well as anti-static cloths, brushes, and blowers for removing dust. Film cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, or dirt from film; carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions for the film cleaning solvent.

Where is the emulsion?

When film placing film in a holder, the emulsion side of the film should be down. When viewing the film image, if the image is orientated correctly rather than a mirror image, the emulsion side is facing down. If the image is abstract or symmetrical so its orientation is difficult to determine, the emulsion is down if the frame numbers and edge markings can be read correctly. With mounted slides, the emulsion is on the same side of the mount as the film manufacturer's or processor’s name is printed.

Loading 35mm film strips

Film strips of up to six frames can be loaded into the 35mm film holder. To open the holder, lift the latch and swing open the cover.

With the emulsion down, place the film in the holder and under the retaining tabs. Align the film with the frame apertures.

Carefully lower the cover until the latch clicks into place. Take care not to move the film during this operation.

Loading mounted slides

Up to four mounted slides can be inserted into the slide mount holder. The slide mounts must be between 1 mm and 3,2 mm thick to fit the holder. Glass mounts cannot be used; the glass refracts the light resulting in distorted and unevenly illuminated scans.

To open the holder, lift both latches and swing open the cover.

Place the slides in the holder emulsion side down. The slide must be parallel with the length of the holder otherwise the top and bottom of the image area will be cropped.

Carefully lower the cover until both latches click into place.

When the slide mount holder is in the scanner, the last slide can be removed and a new slide inserted without ejecting the holder. When replacing slide, take care not to change the holder position. If the slide

is not accessible, press the eject button once to move the slide holder

to the correct position; pressing the eject button twice ejects the holder. A prescan should be made each time a slide is inserted; see page 29.

Emulsion side

Loading and ejecting a film holder

Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility. Launch one of the DiMAGE Scan Utility drivers before inserting the film holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks during this period.

Orientation indicator

When the indicator lamp glows steadily, insert the film holder into the scanner in the direction indicated by the arrow. Hold the holder straight and level with the orientation indicator up.

Insertion mark

Carefully push the holder into the scanner until the insertion mark is aligned with the scanner door; the holder is automatically fed into the scanner from that point and an index scan begins. Never touch or hinder the holder when it is in the scanner.

Click the eject button in the DiMAGE Scan Utility window or press the eject button on the scanner to remove the holder; the scanner automatically ejects the holder to its initial insertion position.

When using the slide holder, the eject button may have to be pressed twice. If the scanner is turned off before the holder is ejected, turn on the scanner; the holder is ejected automatically.
