Using the Windows Scanner Plugin

Autoexposure

Fig. 70 The Autoexposure Button
When this button is pressed, the scanner will scan the film to determine the
best exposure time. This should be done for every slide. The information is
retained until the scanner is turned off or another autoexposure is done. When the
Auto checkbox is checked, the plugin will automatically perform an autoexposure
the first time a preview is done or before the final scan. If the Auto checkbox is
unchecked and checked again, this is reset and another autoexposure will be
performed before the next preview or final scan.

Autofocus

Fig. 71 The Autofocus Button
This button is only enabled when a LS-3510AF is connected. When this button
is pressed, the scanner will attempt to autofocus on the film. If successful, the
focus position is placed in the manual focus text edit field. The scanner may not be
able to focus on a slide if it has low contrast or few sharp details. This should be
done for every slide. When the Auto checkbox is checked, the plugin will
automatically perform an autofocus the first time a preview is done or before the
final scan. If the Auto checkbox is unchecked and checked again, this is reset and
another autofocus will be performed before the next preview or final scan.

Manual Focus

Fig. 72 The Manual Focus Controls in Normal Mode
These controls are only enabled when a LS-3510AF is connected. Press the
Manual Focus button to enter manual focus mode. While in this mode, the
Manual Focus button will change to an End Focus button and any crop selection
will be hidden.
