Manual Focus Adjustment
Manual focus adjustment can be used when you are unable to
obtain the desired results using autofocus. Adjust focus using
the Position slider or enter a value in the text box to its right.
Once set, this focus position will be used until the next time
film is inserted in the scanner or Nikon Scan is restarted. To
focus the scanner automatically, use the autofocus button in the
control area of the scan window.

Multi-Sample Scanning (4000 ED/LS-2000 only)
In “multi-sample scanning,” the scanner makes multiple passes
over the image and averages the results to reduce the effects of
electronic “noise,” producing more accurate reproductions with
smoother changes in tone.
To use multi-sample scanning, select the desired setting from
the Mode menu. The menu contains the following items:
