Inserting film into a film guide for scanning
The adapter comes with three film guides that can hold these sizes:
m 35-mm film
m 60-mm film
m 4 x 5-inch film
IMPORTANT
Be sure to insert negatives into the film guide so that no light
shows through at the sides of the negative film. You can allow a light gap at
the top and bottom of a negative, but light that shows at the sides may cause
the image to be overexposed. If you are scanning a negative that won’t fit any
of the film guides, create a mask for it from opaque materials to prevent light
from leaking through at the sides of the negative.
