Film format and type settings

When scanning, the film type and format must be selected in the main window of the DiMAGE

Scan Utility. This scanner does not use glass holders and so the holder-type drop-down menu is deselected. See scanner setup in the basic-scanning section of the software manual.

Two film formats can be selected with this scanner: 35 mm and APS. The APS option is for use with cassette film with the optional APS adapter AD-10. If scanning APS film in slide mounts, use the 35 mm film-format option.

Film type can be selected between color and black and white, positive and negative film. Film for prints is negative film. Slide film is positive film. APS has an additional option: auto-detect. Auto detect automatically sets the film type between color and black and white, and positive and negative.

When making an index scan with the optional APS holder, the thumbnail frame numbers correspond to the film frame numbers.

Ejecting a film holder

Use the eject button on the scanner body or in the DiMAGE Scan Utility window to remove the holder; the scanner automatically ejects the holder to its initial insertion position. Do not touch or hinder the holder while it is moving.

When using the optional APS Adapter, the scanner automatically rewinds the film when the eject button is pressed. Do not remove the adapter until the rewind motor has stopped.

Eject button

Close the front door when the scanner is not in use.
