Film Format And Type Settings; Ejecting A Film Holder - Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II Hardware Manual

Film format and type settings

When scanning, the film type and format must be selected in the main window of the DiMAGE
Scan Utility. This scanner does not use glass holders and so the holder-type drop-down menu is
deselected. See scanner setup in the basic-scanning section of the software manual.
Two film formats can be selected with this scanner: 35 mm and APS. The APS option is for use
with cassette film with the optional APS adapter AD-10. If scanning APS film in slide mounts, use
the 35 mm film-format option.
Film type can be selected between color and black and white, positive and negative film. Film for
prints is negative film. Slide film is positive film. APS has an additional option: auto-detect. Auto
detect automatically sets the film type between color and black and white, and positive and nega-
tive.
When making an index scan with the optional APS holder, the thumbnail frame numbers corre-
spond to the film frame numbers.

Ejecting a film holder

Use the eject button on the scanner body or in
the DiMAGE Scan Utility window to remove the
holder; the scanner automatically ejects the
holder to its initial insertion position. Do not
touch or hinder the holder while it is moving.
When using the optional APS Adapter, the
scanner automatically rewinds the film when
the eject button is pressed. Do not remove the
adapter until the rewind motor has stopped.
