How to use

Place the slides, negatives or film in the appropriate tray or adapter and insert it into the scanner until it locks in place. Use the 2.4" LCD to preview images, then select automatic or manual settings for colour balance and exposure. Choose internal memory or insert an SD/SDHC card to store scanned images. For continuous scanning, feed the slide tray through the scanner; single-pass capture records each frame as it passes. To transfer files to a computer, connect the scanner via USB 2.0. Optionally, connect to a TV using the composite video jack to view images directly on a larger screen.

Recommendations

For best results, clean slides and negatives before scanning and ensure they are correctly seated in the tray or adapter. Use SDHC cards up to 32 GB for larger batches of scans and verify exposure or colour balance on the LCD preview before saving if you plan to archive images in high quality.
