5. Loading Negatives
Hold up the negative toward the light. As you
look through the negative you should be able
to read the small negative numbers normally
(not a mirror image).
Now turn the negative so the image is upside
down while looking at the same side.
Open the negative holder at the marked spot
on the top. With the negative holder laid open
place the negative into holder so the notches
line up with the notches on the holder.
Note:
Handle negatives with care. Any dust,
scratches or fingerprints will show up on your
saved images. If possible use cotton gloves when handling negatives. It is
recommended to use compressed air to remove any dust on the negatives.
This is not included with the Combo-Scanner
but can be purchased from an office supply
or electronics retailer.
Close the negative holder and press the
edges so that it locks in place.
Hold it in the position as shown in the
Combo-Scanner. Insert the negative holder
into the slot on the right side of the Combo-
Scanner as shown.
Film Holder:
The design of film holder is
follow ISO standard. In some cases the holes
on the film will not match exactly to alignment of the holder. This is caused by
a non-standard camera. In this case there will be a small black line on the
edge of the frame that can easily be cropped out using photo editing software.
