Selecting a Film Type  
You can select the type of film for scanning. By selecting the correct film type, you also  
select the optimum method of color correction.  
Procedure  
Click the Film Type box on the control panel and select the film type.  
Click the box to open the pull-down menu.  
Hint  
• For a slide mount select, 35 mm Color Pos.  
• To change the film type, execute preview again.  
Film Characteristics  
The various film types have distinctly different characteristics. Exposure latitude, for  
example, is not the same for negative and positive films. Negative films provide greater  
latitude because the exposure can be adjusted when prints are made. Positive films  
require greater precision when a picture is taken. In addition, positive film can produce  
a starker contrast between shadows and highlights without producing sepia tones.

Previewing  
Before an image is scanned, it is advisable to preview the image. The Preview function  
will read the image once and present the entire film image in the Preview window. Use  
the Preview window to review the image as it will be scanned and to make any re-  
quired adjustments to the color balance or scan area.  
Operating Procedures  
Place the film in the scanner.  
• Either 35 mm film, slide mounted film, or IX240 film can be placed in the scanner.  
For instructions on placing the film in the scanner, please refer to the “Placing  
Film” section of the Getting Started Guide.  
Click on the [Preview] button.  
• The film will be read and the image will appear in the Preview window.  
Hint  
• The Preview window can be adjusted to a larger size (p. 31).  
• The Dynamic Preview function enables changes to settings, such as the scan  
mode and brightness, to be immediately reflected in the preview image.  
• Nevertheless, the preview image provides only an approximation of the scan  
and the final results may differ to some degree from the preview image.  
• Be sure to re-click the Preview button and to check the preview image each  
time you replace a film or change a film type setting.

Setting the Scan Mode  
When an image is scanned, it is read as a collection of “dots.” The scan mode that is  
selected determines how each of these dots is represented in the output. The following  
five scan modes are available.  
Black & White Mode  
The Black & White mode can reproduce a dot as either black or white. Half-tone  
colors, such as gray, are automatically reproduced as either black or white also.  
Consequently, the Black & White mode is more suited to textual documents or line  
drawings than complex images with color gradations.  
8bit Grayscale Mode  
In the 8bit Grayscale mode, each dot is formed by assigning it eight individual “bits”  
of data. By combining these bits in various different ways, a dot can be expressed in  
256 distinct shades. Photographic images are reproduced relatively naturally in this  
mode, but the file size is much larger than that produced by the Black & White mode.  
12bit Grayscale Mode (FS2710 only)  
In the 12bit grayscale mode, each dot is formed by assigning it 12 bits. In this  
mode one dot can be expressed in 4,096 individual shades. The size of an image  
saved in this mode is approximately twice the size of an 8bit grayscale mode image.  
However, the displayed image is the same as the 8bit grayscale mode image be-  
cause the difference in the image quality cannot be accurately reproduced on the  
screen. Use this mode when you need an monochrome image with finely attenu-  
ated shades of gray.  
20

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
24bit Color Mode  
In the 24bit Color mode, each dot is formed by assigning it eight bits to represent  
each of the RGB or red, green and blue colors, which add up to 24 bits. In this mode,  
a dot can be expressed in approximately 16,770,000 distinct shades. This mode is  
useful for reproducing color prints, but generates files that are even larger than the  
12bit Grayscale mode. Use this mode when the image is to be printed on a color  
printer.  
36bit Color Mode (FS2710 only)  
In this mode, each dot is formed by assigning it 12 bits to represent each of the  
RGB colors, which add up to 36 bits. This mode creates a color smoother than the  
color created with the 24bit color mode. The size of an image saved in this mode is  
approximately twice the size of a 24bit color image. However, the displayed image  
is the same as the 24bit color mode because the difference in image quality cannot  
be accurately reproduced on the screen. Use this mode when you need a color  
image with finely attenuated color tones.  
Caution  
• If you are using a software application which cannot handle 12bit grayscale or  
36bit color images and you attempt to scan a 12bit grayscale or 36bit color  
image, your system may hang up. Before you attempt to scan images in these  
formats, refer to your software application user’s manual to confirm whether  
or not your application can handle such images. Photoshop version 4.0 or  
later, and Photoshop LE provided with the package, can handle 12bit  
grayscale and 36bit color images.  
Hint  
• If you scan an image in 36bit color with Photoshop, which is compatible with  
36bit color, the image is scanned as a 16bit Channel Mode image.  
• If you are using the 2700F, you cannot select the 12bit Grayscale mode or the  
36bit Color mode.  
• If you are using monochrome film, you cannot select the 24bit Color mode or  
36bit Color mode.

To Set the Scan Mode  
Select the Scan Mode box on the control panel and choose the desired scan  
mode.  
Click the box to open the  
pull-down menu.  
Hint  
Scanning the same image in the five different scan modes produces different  
file sizes. By size, Black & White mode requires the least disk space, followed in  
order by the 8bit Grayscale and 12bit Grayscale modes and the 24bit Color and  
36bit Color modes. Before scanning, check the data volume indicator on the  
control panel.  
The numerator indicates the amount of disk  
space required for the scanned image while  
the denominator indicates the amount of disk  
space available. When the required space  
exceeds the available space, the scan button is  
unavailable.  
Caution  
• Even if the indicator shows there is not enough space available, there may be  
occasions when you can click the scan button but the system will return an  
error (Insufficient memory). (See Troubleshooting p. 69)

Setting the Magnification  
The magnification of an image can be changed before scanning to accommodate  
reproductions that are larger or smaller than the original. The settings can be changed in  
increments of 1%.  
Scans with 200% vertical,  
horizontal magnification  
Scans with 50% vertical,  
horizontal reduction  
Changing the magnification setting causes the resolution display on the control panel to  
change correspondingly. This resolution setting is referred to as the “scanning resolution.”  
Output Device Resolution= 360 dpi, Magnification= 100%  
Magnification  
changed to  
Magnification  
The scanning resolution changes  
50%  
Scanning Resolution  
accordingly.  
Hint  
Magnification and Resolution  
Why does the image size change with the magnification? Let us answer this  
with an example using an “Printer (360 dpi)” output device. If you were to scan  
an image with this device setting and set the magnification factor to 50%, the  
scanning resolution will automatically change to 180 dpi. At this setting, the  
image will be scanned at a resolution of 180 dpi and the output device will  
convert this to 360 dpi, shrinking the size of the output in the process because it  
will only have half the data with which to fill the space.

To Set the Magnification Factor  
Set the desired magnification factor on the control panel.

Drag the slider bar in  
either direction or use  
the arrow keys to

Click here to return the magnifi-  
cation factor to 100%.  
Click inside these boxes to enter values  
directly.  
Hint  
The Relationship Between Data Volume and Scanning Resolution  
The higher the magnification and scanning resolution settings, the greater the  
file size of scanned images. There are certain inconveniences associated with  
overly large data volume, such as the inability to fit a file on a single floppy disk  
and the risk of causing a temporary computer slowdown by  
overwhelming its processing capabilities. A typical 35 mm  
picture scanned with the 24bit Color mode may produce files in the  
following sizes, which correspond to the scanning  
resolutions shown.

Hint  
• If the “Save preview in default setting file” option is selected, the last preview  
image will appear in the Preview window when Plug-in module FS is launched  
again after quitting once.  
• If the “Save preview in setting file” option is selected, the preview image will  
be saved in a settings file. This is convenient when you wish to keep the  
settings associated with a particular image.  
• Difference Between the Preferences File and Settings Files.  
Plug-in module FS creates two kinds of files to keep track of settings. The  
various settings that are adjusted with the control panel are automatically  
saved in the default setting file, which is located in the System folder. These  
settings determine how Plug-in module FS behaves when it is restarted. In  
contrast, settings files are intended for saving particular groups of settings  
that are used often. The names of settings files can be freely chosen by the  
user. See Saving/Recalling Settings (p. 65).

Setting the Auto Eject Function  
After a film has been scanned, it can be ejected from the scanner automatically with  
the Auto Eject function. The film is ejected to a position approximately 1 centimeter  
ahead of its normal position, making it easier to remove from the scanner. The default  
factory setting is Auto Eject = On. If you wish to scan the same piece of film repeatedly,  
it is advisable to set the Auto Eject setting to Off to speed up the process.  
To Set the Auto Eject Function  
Select the [Film] menu from the control panel and choose [Auto Eject].  
Clicking on Auto Eject places or removes the check mark to its left. A check mark  
indicates that Auto Eject is active while no check mark indicates that is off.  
Hint  
• When the Auto Eject function is off and you wish to eject the film, click the  
[Eject] button.  
• The Auto Eject function takes effect only after the scan is complete. The film  
does not automatically return to the eject position after the preview, browser  
or zoom functions.

Color Correction  
Plug-in module FS 3.6 scans and builds images in increments of single, square dots.  
Each dot contains the attributes for the brightness and color of the image (tone). Plug-  
in module FS 3.6 provides six tools which you can use to correct color in images.  
Histogram (p. 48)  
A histogram allows you to view how much brightness falls into each  
brightness setting. You can use the histogram to change the distri-  
bution of the brightness settings between bright levels (highlights)  
and dark levels (shadows) in the following types of files: 8-bit  
grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color and 36-bit color.  
Brightness/Contrast (p. 50)  
Brightness is the overall amount of lightness or darkness in an  
image. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest  
parts of an image. Before scanning and acquiring an image, you can  
make adjustments if the original is too bright, too dark or blurred.  
You can use Brightness/Contrast to adjust the following types of  
files: 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color and 36-bit color.  
Color Balance (p. 52)  
Color Balance allows you to adjust the color balance for each  
primary color: R (red), G (green) and B (blue). Adjust colors before  
scanning if they are too strong. You can use Color Balance with the  
following types of files: 24-bit color and 36-bit color.  
Tone Curve (p. 54)  
Tone Curve allows you to adjust the differences in light and darkness  
between the input and output image.  
With the Tone Curve you can adjust the overall brightness and tone  
of the image and smooth the image much easier than with the  
Histogram.  
You can use the Tone Curve with the following types of files: 8-bit  
grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color and 36-bit color.

Gamma (p. 56)  
Gamma allows you to enhance the overall image. Use Gamma  
adjustment when the color of the original does not match the color  
of the displayed image. You can use Gamma with the following  
types of files: 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color and 36-  
bit color.  
Threshold (p. 58)  
Threshold adjusts the brightness of an image by digitizing it i.e.  
determining which gray pixels become black and which become  
white. You can use Threshold only with a monochrome document.

Color Correction - Histogram Setting  
The data comprising an image contains a variety of brightness settings ranging from  
shadows to highlights. These settings are represented in Plug-in module FS by values  
ranging between 0 and 255. You can use the histogram to adjust the values assigned  
to particular dot to either 0 or 255, to change the distribution of brightness settings  
and to control the contrast.  
The method is applicable to 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color (when  
ColorSync™ is off) and 36-bit color images.  
How to Interpret Histograms  
You can select the entire image or specify an area for which a histogram will be  
generated. The height of the peaks of the histogram is directly related to the volume  
of data with the corresponding value.

How to Adjust Histograms  
To change the contrast in an image, the distribution of data between shadows and  
highlights can be adjusted by dragging the shadow and highlight marks at the bottom of  
the histogram. All of the data lying to the outside (left) of the shadow mark is changed to  
a zero value and all of the data lying to the outside (right) of the highlight mark is  
changed to a 255 value. The examples below show adjustments to improve the contrast.

Color Correction - Brightness and Contrast Settings  
Adjusting the brightness and contrast sliders corrects the color tone. If the original  
image is too dark, too light or indistinct, use these settings to correct the image.  
The method is applicable to 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color (when  
ColorSync™ is off) and 36-bit color images.  
Adjusting Brightness  
Adjust the brightness of the entire image.  
This method is effective for adjusting the color tone when the entire image is too  
dark or bright. However, one must be careful not to raise the respective values too  
high or low to avoid creating excessive highlights or shadows.  
Brightness = 190  
Brightness = 80  
Brightness = 128 (Standard)  
Adjusting Contrast  
Contrast is the degree of variation between light and dark areas.  
Raising the contrast accentuates the difference between the light and dark areas.  
Lowering the contrast reduces the difference between the two.  
Contrast = 128 (Standard)  
Contrast = 170  
Contrast = 100  
Raising the contrast of pictures with a blurred focus is effective in adding clarity to  
the image. Raising the contrast too high, however, will obscure the dark portions or  
create excessive highlights.

Precise changes to the tone settings of an image can be made by directly editing the  
tone curve. This enables you to make subtle changes to the brightness of only the  
shadows or highlights, if desired.  
The method is applicable to 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color (when  
ColorSync™ is off) and 36-bit color images.

Curve shows the balance between light  
and darkness in the input and output.

Color Correction with the Tone Curve  
The image can be adjusted by changing the shape of the tone curve.  
If the mid-range tones of the tone curve are  
moved down toward the input side its  
image will become darker than the shadow  
of the output side and the displayed image  
will become darker.  
* For the most natural appearance the tone curve should be as smooth as possible.  
The changes you make in the tone curve are immediately reflected in the preview  
area so you can try many different settings until you achieve the image you want.

Color Correction - Gamma Value Settings  
You can adjust the color by changing the gamma value for the display monitor. This  
method is suitable for matching the image output to the particular characteristics of  
the display monitor in use. The method is applicable to 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale,  
24-bit color (when ColorSync™ is off) and 36-bit color images.  
Matching the Gamma Value to the Display Characteristics  
The relationship between the data sent to a display monitor (input) and the data  
shown on the display (output) is expressed as the display monitor gamma value.  
Different display monitors may have different gamma values, which typically range  
from 1.4 to 2.2. Without adjustment, most display monitors reproduce images  
slightly darker than the original. Plug-in module FS can automatically adjust the  
gamma value for faithful reproduction if the display monitor has a gamma value of  
1.4. Display monitors with other default gamma values have to be set manually.  
Gamma value  
Plug-in module FS and the display monitor have different gamma values. During a  
scanning job, Plug-in module FS receives the image from the scanner as input and  
sends it to the parent application as output. The gamma value in this interval  
where Plug-in module FS converts input to output is the Plug-in module FS gamma  
value. On the other hand, the data received from Plug-in module FS as input is sent  
to the display monitor as output. The gamma value in this interval where the image  
input from Plug-in module FS is converted to output for the display monitor is the  
display monitor gamma value.  
Setting the display monitor gamma value causes the scanner gamma value to be  
calibrated automatically as the inverse value. For example, if the display monitor  
gamma value is set to 1.4, then the scanner gamma value is calibrated at 0.71 (the  
inverse of 1.4).  
Hint  
• Please read the documents shipped with your display or contact the manufac-  
turer’s customer service department to obtain the correct gamma value for  
your particular display model.  
• If you intend to adjust the color tone with ColorSync™, change the settings in  
the ColorSync™ System control panel (found within the Control Panels folder)  
and do not manually change the gamma value settings as described in the  
following pages. See Auto Tone Correction (ColorSync™) (p. 64).

Color Correction - Threshold  
Adjusts the brightness of dithered images  
In the dithering mode, the mid-tones of a photograph, are converted to either black or  
white based on the threshold setting. The threshold setting is the point at which a gray  
pixel is judged to become either black or white. The setting can be specified as a  
number in the range from 1 to 255.  
Pixels judged to be below the threshold setting are converted to black and those above  
the setting are converted to white. Therefore, the higher the threshold setting, the  
darker the image, and the lower the threshold setting, the lighter the image.  
Threshold = 128 (standard)  
Threshold = 180

Film Correction - Focus Correction  
Film placed within a scanner may shift position to a small extent, throwing the focus out  
when scanning or previewing. To scan correctly, it may be necessary to adjust the focus.  
This can be accomplished manually or automatically. You are recommended to try auto  
focus first. If an image remains blurred, you can then try to focus it manually.  
Auto Focus  
The auto focus function automatically corrects the focus. Selecting auto focus causes  
the scanner to automatically adjust the focus setting before previewing, scanning or  
zooming.  
Hint  
The auto focus function is generally activated only for the preview scan and not for the  
actual scan, browser, or zoom operations. However, the auto focus can be set to scan  
for all operations with the Preference settings. See Setting Preferences (p. 26).  
Manual Focus  
The focus can be changed manually while watching the preview image. This permits  
the user to make precision adjustments to the focus. Once the manual focus is used  
for an image, the preview, scan and zoom operations can’t be adjusted automatically.  
Hint  
If the image remains blurry even after adjusting the focus manually, check the  
original image. If the original is focussed, try adjusting the contrast (p. 50), or  
edit the scanned image with Photoshop.

Film Correction — Exposure Adjustment  
Film is scanned by collecting the light that is passed through it. This makes it possible to  
adjust the brightness of the image by changing the amount of light (exposure) used to  
scan it. This is adjusted by changing the scan speed. With the Auto setting in Plug-in  
module FS, exposure adjustment is automatic. This setting should be used for most  
scanning jobs. If, however, you cannot achieve the effect you want with the Auto  
setting, you can manually overexpose or underexpose the image to create a special  
effect. Overexposing the image produces a lighter image. The scanning speed will be  
accelerated for negative film and slowed down for positive film. Underexposing the film  
produces a darker image. The scanning speed will be slowed for negative and film and  
accelerated for positive film.  
Medium exposure

Hint  
• If you are using the FS2710, positive film can be adjusted by three exposure  
stops and negative film by five stops.  
• If you are using the 2700F, negative film can be adjusted by five stops. The  
exposure of positive films cannot be adjusted.

maker and product name. (p. 72)  
2700F Film Type Settings  
The colors used in the film base of negative films varies between manufacturers and  
individual products. To adjust the exposure manually with the 2700F, you must specify  
the film type to reproduce image colors correctly. This is not required for positive films  
because the film base is not colored.

Auto Tone Correction (ColorSync™)  
When the scan mode is set to 24bit Color, color correction is automatically conducted by  
the ColorSync™ function. The ColorSync™ function automatically matches the tones  
produced and displayed by scanners, displays and color printers. Optimal color correction  
is achieved with ease without having to make adjustments with the histogram or other  
color correction functions.  
Caution  
More time is required to start the program and scan when the ColorSync™  
function is activated.  
Hint  
• ColorSync™ responds differently to each computer according to the unique  
conditions affecting it (type of display used, etc.), which may cause differences  
even between computers of the same make and system version. The tone  
characteristics of an image scanned with ColorSync™ on one computer, there-  
fore, may change when processed on another computer.  
• Color correction using the histogram function and gamma value settings can’t  
be conducted when the ColorSync™ function is activated.  
• If you are using auto tone correction to match the gamma value of your display,  
double-click the [ColorSync™ System] control panel icon and select from among  
the following settings:  
CANON gamma 1.5 monitor  
CANON gamma 1.8 monitor  
CANON gamma 2.1 monitor  
To Activate the ColorSync™ Function  
Click on the [Image] menu and select the [ColorSync] option.  
Color correction will occur automatically. Auto tone correction requires some time to  
process.

Glossary  
12-bit grayscale image  
An image which can display 4,096 gradations over the range of white, gray, and  
black. However, there is no difference in appearance between a 12-bit grayscale  
image and an 8-bit grayscale image on the screen.  
24-bit color image  
An image which can display 256 gradations (8 bits x 3) for each RGB color for a  
total of 16.7 million colors (256 x 256 x 256).  
36-bit color image  
An image which can display 4,096 gradations (12 bits x 3) for each RGB color for a  
total of 67.8 billion colors (4096 x 4096 x 4096).  
8-bit color image  
An image which can display 256 gradations over the range of white, gray, and  
black.  
Dot  
The fundamental element of a letter, object or image. The number of dots per inch  
(dpi) determines the resolution (or density) of a letter, object or image.  
Gamma Correction  
The process whereby variations in color tones from the output of monitors, printers  
and other output devices are made consistent with the source (input) document.  
With Plug-in module FS, gamma correction for a monitor can be conducted with  
the Gamma Value Settings function. Gamma values are expressed as numbers: 1 is  
the standard value, numbers lower than 1 brighten the output and numbers higher  
than one darken the output. A graph function, the Tone Curve (gamma curve), is  
also available in Plug-in module FS to make adjustments to gamma values (p. 56).  
Image File  
A computer file generated by scanning an image or by creating an image with an  
image editing software program, such as Photoshop. An image file is generally  
comprised of bitmap data, a collection of color information corresponding to each  
dot of an image. There are many formats for image files, including the TIFF, PICT  
and BMP formats.

A P P E N D I C E S  
IX240 Film  
IX240 film, also referred to as APS film, is film which meets APS standards. APS  
means “Advanced Photo System”. The width of this film is 24 mm and the image  
size is 17 x 30 mm. This is a miniature film in comparison with the popular 35 mm  
film. When this film is sent out for processing, it is returned in the original cartridge  
just as it was sent out.  
Negative Film  
Negative film can be either monochrome (black and white) or color film, but  
“negative film” generally refers to color negative film. Negative film is used to  
make color prints where the light and dark colors of the image are reversed and  
colors are converted to their complements. For example, blue is reversed to yellow,  
and yellow to blue. Just by looking at the image, you cannot recognize the original  
colors. A fundamental characteristic of color negative film is that it uses orange as  
its base color.  
Positive Film  
Film used as transparencies for projection on screens and other media or used to  
make printing plates. Colors (light and dark areas) appear on the film in the same  
order as the original photographic subject.  
Preview  
See the entry for Scanning.  
Resolution  
An expression of the density of dots in an image file that indicates the extent of its  
granularity. Generally expressed as the number of dots per inch (dpi).  
RGB  
An acronym for the base colors red, green and blue used in varying combinations to  
reproduce the full spectrum of colors on monitors and other output devices.  
Scanning  
The process of using a scanner to read a film image electronically. Before the final  
scan, a preview scan is generally conducted. The preview scan encompasses the  
entire scope of the target film and only provides a general indication of the image  
that may differ from the final scan. The final scan is executed after specifying the  
area of the image to be scanned and various settings that determine how the scan  
is conducted.
