Features of the CanoScan FS2720U Film Scanner

This 2720-dots-per-inch scanner is equipped with a range of outstanding features, a few of which are mentioned below.

Natural Color Reproduction

The CanoScan FS2720U utilizes a white cold-cathode xenon lamp, highly rated for reproducing colors closely correlated to natural sunlight. Its proprietary Canon electrode array also eliminates inconsistencies in illumination. What’s more, its extensive list of notable features includes long life, low power con- sumption and immediate startup when the power is switched on.

Fine Color Gradations and High Quality

The scanner is equipped with dedicated line sensors that deliver a basic resolu- tion of 2720 dpi for each red, blue and green (RBG) channel. This is comple- mented by its single-pass scanning process, which achieves speed without color leaching. By scanning at 12 bits per RBG channel (4096 colors each) and output- ting at 8 or 12 bits per channel, the scanner delivers fine color gradations and superior image quality.

IX240 Film (Advanced Photo System) Support

The IW-50 Film Viewer is included so that IX240 film used in Advanced Photo System cameras can be as easily processed as standard 35 mm Film.

Fully Automated (Autofocus/Auto Color Balance)

After the film is inserted, all you need do is click the [Scan] or [Save] button on your computer screen. The focus, brightness and color balance adjust automati- cally to produce top-quality images effortlessly.

Dust Cover Shuts Out Dirt
