FOCUS – POINT AF

The Dimâge Scan Dual2 uses the CCD sensor for autofocus.

Autofocus uses the center of the image to determine focus. Normally, this results in an

excellent scan because the film plane is flat. However, if the film is warped or curled, or if

Autofocus is turned off in the preferences, focus may not be accurate. In this case, the focus

adjustment should be performed again using the pont AF or Manual Focus function.

• Automatic autofocus can be turned on and off in the Preferences (page 39).

pixels are discarded when shrinking an image, it is

called resampling down. If new pixels are created in

an image, it is called resampling up (see page 100).

such as pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter.

High resolution is the term for an image with a lot of

pixels in a given area. Low resolution means there

are not many pixels in a given area.

three channels that make up the scanned image.

Monitors use red, green, and blue phosphors to

create the image you see on the screen.

SHADOWS The dark areas of an image.

mapped data. In addition to being a widely

supported format, TIFF is able to handle the color

palette needed for professional-quality images and

graphics.

as a mouse, printer, scanner, etc. can be connected

up to 127 with an interface. Furthermore, the

peripheral equipment can be easily set up because

the USB connection does not requires to specify the

ID number or the terminator for each equipment

compared with the SCSI devices.

It does not matter whether the USB equipment or

computer is turned on or off first.

In the USB connection, the USB equipment or

computer can be connected or disconnected even

while the equipment is turned on.

When disconnecting and connecting the USB

equipment, perform at an interval of 5 seconds or
