5. Loading Negatives
Hold up the negative toward the light. As you look through the negative you should be able to read
the small negative numbers normally (not a mirror image).
Now turn the negative so the image is upside down while looking at the same side.
Open the negative holder at the marked spot on the top.
With the negative holder laid open place the negative into holder so the notches line up with
the notches on the holder.
Note
: Handle negatives with care. Any dust, scratches or fingerprints will show up on your saved
images. If possible use cotton gloves when handling negatives. It is recommended to use compressed air
to remove any dust on the negatives. This is not included with the film & photo scanner but can be
purchased from an office supply or electronics retailer.
Close the negative holder and press the edges so that it locks in place
Hold it in the position as shown in the film & photo scanner.
Insert the negative holder into the slot on the right side of the film & photo scanner as shown.
Film Holder: The design of the film holder follows ISO standard. In some cases the holes on the film will
not match exactly to the alignment of the holder. This is caused by a non-standard camera. In this case
there will be a small black line on the edge of the frame that can easily be cropped out using photo
editing software.
