Inserting film
To scan a film strip, grasp the film gently by the sides and slide
the it into the adapter’s film slot a short distance. The adapter’s
feed mechanism will be activated and the film will be fed into
the scanner automatically.
As is the case with mounted slides, strip film should be inserted
with the base up and the emulsion surface down. The film is in
the correct orientation if the frame numbers on the film are not
reversed. The film’s edges should be flat or curled slightly
downward. Do not use film which curls upwards or which is
curled more than 3 mm, as the film may jam or fail to scan
properly. Film for use in the scanner should fit in the gauge on
top of the adapter.
< 3 mm
Film will be ejected from the scanner automatically when the
scanner is turned on or when no operation is performed for
several minutes. Film can also be ejected using the software
provided with your scanner. For details of scanning operations,
refer to the User’s Guide or software reference manual.
Note: Due to varying degrees of curl in strip film, autofocusing
may not perform well when scanning the portion of the image
close to the front edge of the first frame. If you experience prob-
lems with autofocus, eject the film, turn it around so that the first
frame is now the last, then re-insert the film and scan the last
frame. You can also scan the frame in the MA-20 using the FH-2
strip-film holder (see “Using the MA-20 S
LIDE M OUNT A DAPTER ,”
above).
