Click the apply-all button to use the exposure-control
settings for all the images in the film holder. If autoex-
posure is used, the exposure setting for the displayed
image is fixed and applied to the other images in the
holder.
Adjust the sliders or enter values between ±2 in
0.1 increments in the text boxes. Press the
apply button to view the effect on the preview
image. Repeat until the desired result is
achieved. To cancel all settings, click the reset
button and press the apply button to initialize the

When using autoexposure, adjustments are
made in reference to the exposure determined
by the AE system. To calibrate the scanner in
reference to a standard exposure, turn the auto-
exposure functions off in the preference window (p. 44); set exposure control for
negatives to manual or uncheck the auto-exposure for slides check box. This is rec-
ommended when making settings for specific films.

If any changes are made to exposure, the exposure control tab will be highlighted in
red (Windows), or an asterisk will be displayed on the tab (Macintosh).
The master slider and text box control the overall exposure. The R, G, and B sliders
and text boxes are used to compensate for any color shift.
The exposure control is not an image-processing tool. No gamma or contrast
changes can be made. The exposure-control tab allows the scanner’s exposure sys-
tem 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.
Simply click the exposure-control tab to display the selected image. If a prescan has
not been made, the scanner will make one automatically.
