Handling film
Where is the emulsion?
To achieve the best possible reproduction from the scanner, the film and film holder
should be free from dust and dirt. Always work with processed film in a clean, dust-
free environment. Handle film by the edges or mount to prevent fingerprints and dirt
marring the image area. Special lint free gloves are available from photographic
equipment retailers for film handling as well as anti-static cloths, brushes, and blow-
ers for removing dust. Film cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, or dirt from
film; carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions for the film
cleaning solvent.
When film is scanned, the emulsion side of the film should be down. When viewing
the film image, if the image is orientated correctly rather than a mirror image, the
emulsion side is facing down. If the image is abstract or symmetrical so its orienta-
tion is difficult to determine, the emulsion is down if the frame numbers and edge
markings can be read correctly. With mounted slides, the emulsion is on the same
side of the mount as the film manufacturer's or processor’s name is printed.
Replace the cover. Slide the two
protrusions on the left side of the
cover into the two slots in the
base (2). Carefully lower the
cover taking care not to move
the film. Snap the cover closed
by pressing the two push marks
on each side of the tab (3).

Loading the film
With the DiMAGE Scan Dual III, two film formats can be scanned: 35 mm and APS.
Two supplied film holders and one optional holder are available.
Film formats
FH-U1
For 35mm film strips AD-10 (sold separately)
For APS film cassettes
Loading mounted slides
Up to four mounted 35mm or APS
slides can be inserted into the slide
mount holder. The slide mounts must
be between 1 mm and 2 mm thick to
fit the holder. Glass mounts cannot
be used; the glass refracts the light
resulting in distorted and unevenly
illuminated scans.
Hold the slide mount holder so that
the slots are to the top and the
frame numbers are upside-down and
face up. Insert the slides into the
holder emulsion side down. The
slide must be parallel with the length
of the holder otherwise the top and
bottom of the image area will be
cropped.
With the emulsion down, place
the film on the base of the holder.
Align the film with the frame
apertures.
Film strips of up to six frames
can be loaded into the FH-U1
film holder. To remove the cover,
lift the tab at the end of the film
holder (1).
