Performing an Autofocus
1. On the Mag/Focus tab, enter the Focus Range. The recommended value is
300. The Range is the initial range of travel used for the CCD and lens, in
motor steps.
NOTE: To make the focus procedure faster: if you have focused on a given
magnification, you can set the Range value to be less than 300.
IMPORTANT: Autofocus will be done for the Chosen Magnification. It is
assumed that when you do an Autofocus, you have:
• calibrated with an empty film holder (see Calibrating the
Scanner on page A-8)
• placed the film to be scanned in the scanner (see Placing
the Film Holder in the Scanner on page 2-12)
• set the scan area (see “Using the Capture Tab” on
page A-8); for fastest scanning, set the # of pixels (in the
Scan area) to 1000
2. Click Do AutoFocus.
