TIP Calibrate the optics with the skid plate installed and correctly aligned,
as this assists with image stabilization and offers the best image quality.
Film Type
These controls let you select the type of film you’re scanning, align the film with the sensor,
and choose what speed you’re scanning at.

‚
Film Type: Lets you choose what type of film you’re scanning. The choices are positive,
negative, interpositive, and internegative. HDR scanning offers an improvement
for all these film types. Select the reel type you’re scanning from 35mm 2, 3, and 4
perf, and 16mm.
TIP The scanner automatically detects whether the film is 35mm or 16mm.
NOTE When scanning interpositive and internegative film, the increased
density of the film requires slightly extended pulse durations from the light
source. Normally, this does not affect the scan, however, a slight reduction in
resolution may occur when scanning at above 12 frames per second. If you do
notice a difference in resolution, simply reduce your scanning speed to
12 frames per second or less.
‚
Enable 2 Pass HDR Scan: Sets the high intensity HDR scan to take place after the
initial standard scan. It’s important to note that the high exposure pass runs at a
maximum of 12 fps to minimize blur due to the longer flash times of the light source.
‚
Perf nudge: Used for making fine adjustments of the perf position relative to the
scanner gate aperture. Command-J nudges up, while Command-L nudges down.
‚
Frame: These buttons are push and hold to activate. When on, the film is slowly
advanced to move the frame up or down and when released the film stops in
place. This is useful for aligning the film frame with the scanner’s sensor. Using the
‘perf nudge’ and ‘frame’ buttons, you want to align the visible film frame so the bottom
of the previous frame and the top of the next frame are just visible at the top and
bottom of the viewer, and the current frame is centered vertically.
It’s important to make sure the image in the viewer is not zoomed in when you do this.
Command-Left Arrow on your keyboard moves the frame up, while Command-Right
Arrow moves the frame down.
