LS-3510AF

You will be using the Standard Slide Holder for this scan. Hold the mount as in
the diagram in Figure 5.3 below. 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
autofocus 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 back of the scanner. This is because the
imaging lens will not be reading the film through the film base, which may reduce defin-
ition, 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.
