FOCUS – POINT AF

Focus

The Dimâge Scan Dual2 uses the CCD sensor for autofocus.

Autofocus uses the center of the image to determine focus. Normally, this results in an excellent scan because the film plane is flat. However, if the film is warped or curled, or if Autofocus is turned off in the preferences, focus may not be accurate. In this case, the focus

adjustment should be performed again using the pont AF or Manual Focus function.

• Automatic autofocus can be turned on and off in the Preferences (page 39).

POINT AF

2.Click on the area of the image to be in the sharp focus.
