Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What does the 3.8 Dmax specification mean for my film scans?
  A 3.8 Dmax rating indicates an exceptionally wide dynamic range. This allows the scanner hardware to read extremely fine image detail in the deep shadow sections and brilliant highlight fields of positive and negative film materials, rivaling dedicated drum scanner capabilities.
• Can the Digital ICE feature fix old film automatically on this model?
  Yes. The built-in hardware utilizes an infrared light channel to identify surface dust particles, hair fibers, and physical surface scratches on transparencies, completely removing them during the scan sequence without blurring image detail.
• How large of a transparency film sheet can I scan at one single time?
  The expansive 6 inches by 9 inches transparency light window embedded in the upper lid enables the simultaneous batch scanning of up to two separate 4 inches by 5 inches large format film sheets using the provided template guides.
