Canon FS 3.6 manual Preview image coloring is strange, when negative films are scanned

Appendices

Preview image coloring is strange

Cause 1: Film is faded

Solution: This problem can be corrected to a certain extent by re- touching the image with image processing software.

Cause 2: Film (negative) is of type difficult for automatic film type selection with the automatic color adjustment feature of the exposure function.

Solution: Turn off the automatic color adjustment feature of the exposure function and manually specify settings, such as the film type and scanning speed. (2700F only) (p. 70)

Cause 3: Automatic color adjustment feature of the exposure func-

tion turned off and incorrect film type selected

Solution: Reset film type and rescan. (p. 70)

Cause 4: Color balance and brightness settings are incorrect

Solution: Click the [Adjust] button and reset the color balance and brightness settings. (p. 55)

Colors sometimes appear at the boundaries of highlights and shadows

when negative films are scanned.

Cause 1: The exposure function is set to auto color adjustment

Solution 1: In the exposure adjustment dialog, click the check box to remove the check mark beside the auto color adjustment option and drag the slider to the middle. (p. 70)

Cause 2: The exposure adjustment is set to an under-exposure value

Solution 2: Drag the slider in the exposure adjustment dialog toward the over-exposure side. (p. 70)

exposure (negative film)

Cause:	The histogram highlight setting is incorrect
Solution:	Use the white pointer tool in the histogram tab of the adjust
	dialog to reset the highlight level on the preview image.
