“Before Each Image”
“Before Each Image”
If Perform auto focus when fi lm is inserted is selected in the
“Scanner Extras” palette, an autofocus operation will au to mat i cal ly be
per formed when a slide is inserted in a slide-mount adapter (5000 ED,
4000 ED, COOLSCAN V ED, COOLSCAN IV ED) or when a holder other
than the FH-869S or FH-869G is inserted in the 9000 ED or 8000 ED.
As a result, an autofocus operation will not au to mat i cal ly be performed
before the image is scanned, even if Auto focus is selected for “Before
each image.” In the case of the 9000 ED and 8000 ED, this applies only
to the fi rst frame in the holder; an autofocus operation will automati-
cally be performed prior to scanning for all subsequent frames.
