Autofocus

Initial Setup

The first Prescan or Scan on a slide and on a filmstrip after the installation of this Host
Software will first start with an Autofocus operation.

Slide Autofocus

The AF button is enabled whenever the film scanner detects the presence of a slide. No
longer does a Prescan of the slide have to be performed before the AF button is enabled.

Filmstrip Autofocus

The AF button is enabled whenever the film scanner detects the presence of a filmstrip
(after the filmstrip Dmin function has been completed). If a filmstrip Prescan or Scan is
attempted without an Autofocus first being performed, you will be presented with a
message asking for confirmation of the Prescan/Scan.
After loading a filmstrip, we suggest you align a valid image frame in the film scanner's
view window before exercising the autofocus function. Align the frame by tapping the
scanner's Reverse or Forward buttons, or by Control-clicking (Option-clicking on
MACINTOSH) on the Host Software's Move Filmstrip left/right icon. Then click on the
Autofocus button.

Manual focus

After the Autofocus operation is completed, a Prescan of the slide or filmstrip frame will be
performed. Subsequent "clicks" of the AF button when the same slide or filmstrip is
installed will produce an Autofocus / Manual focus option. Selecting one of these options
will cause an focus operation to be performed on the frame currently in the scan position.
The Manual focus operation allows you to command a specific focus point. This set focus
point value will be used for all slide and filmstrip prescans and final scans until a different
focus point is set either by a new AF or Manual focus operation.
