Auto Dust Brush

The Auto Dust Brush reduces the visibility of fine dust particles on the film surface that cannot be removed with a brush or blower; all visible dust should be removed from the film, see handling film on page 18. The scanning time increases with the use of the Auto Dust Brush. This function cannot be used with 16-bit linear color depth. See page 11 for memory requirements.
