LOADING THE FILM HOLDERS

Handling film

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, dustfree 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 blowers 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.

Where is the emulsion?

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 orientation 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.

Loading 35mm film strips

Film strips of up to six frames can be loaded into the FH-E1 film holder. To open the holder, lift the latch and open the cover (1).

Carefully lower the cover until the latch clicks into place. Take care not to move the film during this operation.

10 L

OADING THE FILM HOLDERS

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 3.2 mm thick to fit the holder. Glass mounts cannot be used; the glass refracts the light resulting in distorted and unevenly illuminated scans. Do not leave slide mounts in the holder.

To open the holder, lift the latches and open the cover.

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. The up arrow on the the film holder indicates the orientation of horizontal images.

Emulsion side

When the slide mount holder is in the scanner, the last slide can be removed and a new slide inserted without ejecting the holder. When replacing slide, take care not to change the holder position. A prescan should be made each time a slide is inserted; refer the DiMAGE

Scan manual.

11

Loading a film holder into the scanner

Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility; see the software instruction manual. Turn on the scanner and then start the computer. Launch the DiMAGE Scan

Utility before inserting the film holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks during this period.

Minolta History

On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth.

On board his Friendship 7 spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that historic event. The 4 hour, 55 minute, and 23 second flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of 28,000 kph (17,500 mph).

Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in Japan on

May 24th, 1963 to plant a palm tree to celebrate the occasion. The palm tree is still in the courtyard of the factory and stands over eight meters tall (26ft).

The camera? It was not lost. It is on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and

Space Museum in Washington D.C. This and other objects from John Glenn’s Friendship 7

Mercury flight can be found in galley 210,

“Apollo to the Moon.”
