Focus Details

The focus point value, either from an AF or Manual focus operation, is saved and used
from scan session to scan session. It is up to you, the film scanner's user, to decide how
often you want to use the focus feature. A mounted slide and a filmstrip have different
focus points. Also, slide mounts with different thickness’ will have different focus points.
Your computer will store the separate values used for the last slide and filmstrip focus
point. If you connect your film scanner to a different computer, or connect a different RFS
3600 to your computer, you should perform new autofocus operations on slides and
filmstrips.
Please note: This filmstrip and slide focusing feature cannot compensate for soft frames
captured by a poorly focused camera. In order to produce sharp images on your
negatives, you must have your camera correctly focused when exposing the film.
