Super View Prescans

This is a feature that allows a quick scan of a prescan sized area in the image at the current resolution. This is a great feature for checking focus and depth of ﬁeld without having to make a full scan and opening the image in Photoshop. When Super is checked, a red rectangle corresponding to the area of a preview-size

image at the current camera resolution will appear in the prescan image. The Prescan button name is changed to Super View. Drag the red Super View rectangle to the area of interest, then click the Super View button. A prescan will be made of this area and will replace the current preview image. Check- ing the View checkbox allows switching between the Super View preview and the normal preview.

The focus tool is available in a Super View prescan, but static spot meters, cropping and the Measure tool are disabled. The Drag Hand and Zoom tools can be temporarily enabled using their keyboard activator keys.
