Quick operation
Simply turn on the power, and the scanner is ready for operation.
When using the SLIDE MOUNT ADAPTER MA-21, focus is achieved automatically once the scanner recognizes the type of film about to be scanned. You can begin scanning right away, as necessary exposure adjustments are made during image preview.
Batch scanning for increased productivity
You can easily initiate the automatic scanning of multiple frames. For example, using the STRIP FILM ADAPTER SA-21 with the 5000 ED or V ED enables batch scanning of as
many as 6 frames, or the 35mm STRIP FILM HOLDER FH-835S with the 9000 ED for up to 12 frames — and you can select different set- tings for each frame.
The 5000 ED can batch-scan up to 40 frames of an uncut roll of film (optional ROLL FILM ADAPTER SA-30), or up to 50 mounted slides (optional SLIDE FEEDER SF-210), giving you time-efficient, high-
quality scanning capability.

Efficient autofocus delivers crisp, accurate images
Scanning curled film strips and film mounts of varying thickness means that the film plane will not always be in the same position relative to the lens. This makes accurate focusing essential in producing superior-quality scans. Nikon’s new film scanners feature fast, precise
during the scanning process, you are virtually guaranteed images of higher quality than would result from post-scan adjustments made using other image control software.
Multi-sample scanning for rich, noise-free images
The multi-sample scanning feature exposes details in the darker portions of photos while eliminating nearly all noise that can appear in those areas after only one scan. By making as many as 16 passes, multi-sample scanning — only available with the SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED and 5000 ED — helps ensure
Quality scans made easy
Even first-time scanner users will be astonished at how simple quality film scanning can be. Nikon Scan 4 features an intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) that allows you to quickly and easily preview images and even make necessary adjust- ments before scanning.
Nikon COOLSCAN and SUPER COOLSCAN film scanners come with an Easy Scanning Guide CD-ROM which features a Flash™ animated
explanation of the setup and operation of your new scanner. It also advises you on the quick- est way to scan images based on the film type, the desired quality and the application.
Digital ICE™ works in tandem with Nikon’s spe- cial LED illumination to remove surface defects like dust and scratches from a scanned image without altering the underlying composition, details or any other elements of the original image.
Digital ICE Professional™
The 9000 ED features Digital ICE Professional™ which is an advanced version of Digital ICE™ and compatible with Kodachrome film.

Digital GEM™ (Grain Equalization & Management)
Digital GEM™ reduces the effects of film grain. It reads the grain details in film, extracting all the vital data related to image quality and color. The resulting images are sharp, clear and devoid of grain clumping or graininess.

Notes:
•Digital ICE™ is compatible with both color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with monochrome film.
•With the 5000 or V ED, when Digital ICE™ is applied to Kodachrome film, blurred images or localized loss of detail may occasionally occur, depending on the film used.
•With the 9000 ED, when using Digital DEE™ to scan medium-format film in a Windows® operating environment, “Crop” palette settings must be adjusted so that the file size is 169MB or less.
