Basic Information About Film
This section describes the available varieties and characteristics of various types of film. This
information is useful when choosing film format and development options.
Film Varieties
The most common format is 35 mm film (135 film). Recently, a new format has
been launched. IX240 film complying to Advanced Photo System standards is
compact, simple to handle and equipped with a range of new features.
The CanoScan FS2720U accepts both types of film for scanning. Please select the
film that matches your camera.
Films in the 4x5, 120 or 220 roll film or similar formats cannot be scanned in the
CanoScan FS2720U. The scanner accepts 35 mm films in sleeves or slide mounts
and IX240 film in cartridges or slide mounts. Please read the section entitled
Final Film Format
for information regarding film mounts and sleeves.
Color/Monochrome Film
Films are available in color or monochrome formats. The CanoScan FS2720U
accepts both and can even reproduce color films in the monochrome format.
