SETTING THE PREFERENCES
“Colour depth” setting list box
This option allows you to specify the format when outputting the scanned data to a file or an application
software. Select one from the following items of the list box.
The default setting is 8 bit.
• 8 bit Outputs an image of 8 bits for each R, G or B channel
• 16 bit Outputs an image of 16 bits for each R, G or B channel
• 16 bit linear Outputs an image of 16 bits for each R, G or B channel but corrections such as a gamma
correction cannot be made. Therefore, when scanning a negative film, it is output as a
negative image.
* Only TIFF can be selected when using the utility software and selecting 16 bit or 16 bit linear as a colour depth.
* When selecting 16 bit, the image size display in the Scan Settings window is represented in the 16 bit size (8 bit x 2).
* Some types of graphic application software cannot handle 16 bit image files.
“Multi Sample” scan setting list box
This option allows you to select the Multi-Sampling setting. This function reduces random noise in the image
by analyzing the data of a number of sample scans in advance. Select one of the following items from the
list box.
The Multi-Sample Scanning function is turned off in the default setting.
• OFF No processing.
• 2 times Perform sampling 2 times.
• 4 times Perform sampling 4 times.
• 8 times Perform sampling 8 times.
• 16 times Perform sampling 16 times.
* The more times the image is sampled, the longer the required time for scanning.
“Preview Size” selecting list box
Select the display size of the prescan image. The default setting is “Small”.
• Large A prescan image is displayed in its original size.
• Small A prescan image is displayed in the reduced size.
“Index Scan priority” selection button
This option allows you to select either a high speed index scan or a quality index scan by clicking on
“Speed” or “Quality”. The default setting is “Speed”.
• Speed This performs the index scan at high speed. The autofocus function is not used while scanning.
The index images are displayed in a thumbnail representation after only easy-auto expose
function is performed for each frame. When index scanning with a 35 mm film holder (FH-P1), the
frame order will differ from that of the actual film frame order. This setting is to allow an even
speedier index scan. The scanning order is as the numbers marked on the holder 2-1-3-4-6-5.
• Quality After prescanning each frame, the size of the prescan images is reduced and those images are
displayed in the thumbnail representation. Therefore, it takes longer to display index images.
However, the prescan image can then be immediately displayed just by double-clicking the index
image. Whether the autofocus function or the auto expose function for a colour slide film is
performed when prescanning depends on the setting of Auto Focus at Scan or Auto Exposure for
Slides.
