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.
