Protect Your Film
The Digital ICE photo retouch function built into your Nikon scanner can be used to eliminate the
effects of dust, scratches, and surface defects on your film. To ensure the best possible results and to
prevent damage to slides or film, however, be sure to protect your film from dust, fingerprints, and
condensation as described below.
Cautions
• Before inserting film in a holder, remove dirt and dust with a blower to protect the
surface of the film from scratches. Dirt and dust can also interfere with the
operation of the scanner, causing scanning errors or malfunctions.
• Fingerprints can be removed with a soft, dry cloth. Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the film when removing fingerprints.
• The film base and emulsion will deteriorate if exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Use the scanner
at the temperature and humidity given in the specifications (see below).
• Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, even when within the limits given in the specifications, can
cause condensation on the film. Before using film, check to be sure that no condensation is present.
• If condensation is present on the film, leave the film out until it dries . Condensation can cause damage
when film is inserted in the scanner.
• The operating temperature and humidity for your scanner are:
Temperature: +10 – +35°C (+50 – +95°F)
Humidity: 20 – 60%
