Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual III AF-2840 - Manual (Page 44)

Auto-expose-for-slides check box: this option acti-
vates the auto-exposure function when scanning
slides. Since the density range of slides is relatively
uniform, adjusting the expose for each slide is usual-
ly unnecessary. However, when scanning an under-
exposed or overexposed slide, the auto exposure
system can compensate for the unusual image den-
sity. When using AE lock or AE area selection with
slide film (p. 50), the auto-expose-for-slide box must
be checked.

This section covers the advanced scanning tools in the DiMAGE Scan Dual III Utility. The basic
scanning section on pages 31 through 43 should be read before continuing.
Setting scanner preferences
Click the preferences button
in the main window to open
the preferences dialog box.
Exposure control for negatives: auto exposure
adjusts the scanner exposure to compensate for the
density of the negative. The manual setting uses a
fixed exposure regardless of the density of the film.
Manual exposure can show the exposure difference
in a bracket series. When using AE lock or AE area
selection with negatives (p. 50), the auto radio button
must be checked.
Autofocus-at-scan check box: this option activates the autofocus function during the prescan
and final scan. The scanner’s autofocus system uses the center of the image to determine focus.
When using the Auto Dust Brush, the use of autofocus is recommended. The autofocus function
increases the scanning time.
Close-utility-after-scanning check box: this option closes the DiMAGE Scan Dual III Utility after
the final scan when using the scanner with an image-processing application. Activate this function
when individual images will be scanned and then processed or retouched in another application.
However, uncheck the box when multiple images need to be scanned before retouching.
Select the preferences options to customize scanner operations. Click the OK button to apply the
preference settings and close the window.
The following settings are available in the preference
window.
