Loading the film

Handling film

To achieve the best possible reproduction from the scanner, the film and film holder should be free from dust and dirt. Always work with processed film in a clean, dust-free environment. Handle film by the edges or mount to prevent fingerprints and dirt marring the image area. Special lint free gloves are available from photographic equipment retailers for film handling as well as anti- static cloths, brushes, and blowers for removing dust. Film cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, or dirt from film; carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions for the film cleaning solvent.

Where is the emulsion?

When film is scanned, the emulsion side of the film should be down. When viewing the film image, if the image is orientated correctly rather than a mirror image, the emulsion side is facing down. If the image is abstract or symmetrical so its orientation is difficult to determine, the emulsion is down if the frame numbers and edge markings can be read correctly. With mounted slides, the emulsion is on the same side of the mount as the film manufacturer's or processor’s name is printed.

Loading 35mm film strips

Film strips of up to six frames can be loaded into the FH-U1 film holder. To remove the cover, lift the tab at the end of the film holder (1).

With the emulsion down, place the film on the base of the holder. Align the film with the frame apertures.
