You will be using the Standard Slide Holder for this scan. Hold the mount as in
the diagram in Figure 4.8. Insert the slide so that the emulsion side of the film faces the
back of the scanner, and the picture is rightside-up. Since the LS-3510AF is an autofoc-
us scanner, it will not make much difference which way you place the emulsion (other
than image orientation, right-reading or backwards), although sharpest results will be
achieved when the emulsion faces the front of the scanner. This is because the imaging
lens will not be reading the film through the film base, which may reduce definition,
depending on the film type.
Insert the Slide Holder into the scanner so that the slide mount is closest to the
lamp. Close the dustproof cover so that the outside light does not affect the scan.
The sample slide is a landscape, or a horizontal image. Therefore we can leave the
default scanning orientation in the landscape position.
