User manual NIKON COOLSCAN V ED BROCHURE

[. . . ] Each scanner in Nikon's COOLSCAN lineup is compatible with ICC (International Color Consortium) version 4 standards. Three new achievements from the leader in desktop film scanning Dynamic, sophisticated core technologies. A history of excellence in digital imaging. These are the attributes that have made Nikon the dominant force in the desktop film scanning market. Nikon's COOLSCAN lineup features three models, each offering superior optical components, color reproduction and image correction functions, along with incomparable operability. [. . . ] After calculating the amount of color shift, it then instantly rebuilds and restores the deteriorated color values automatically. The results are faithfully rendered digitized images. Digital GEMTM (Grain Equalization & Management) Digital GEMTM 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. With Digital DEETM Without Digital DEETM Notes: · Digital ICETM 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 ICETM 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 DEETM 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. 4 5 Specifications Media Negatives and positives, in color and monochrome 35mm slides Slides with mounts 1. 0 ­ 3. 2 mm thick, 49 ­ 50. 8 mm wide. 35mm film strips 2 ­ 6 frames; strips of 1 ­ 6 frames can be scanned with optional STRIP FILM HOLDER FH-3 Advanced Photo System (IX240) film Cartridges of 15, 25, and 40 frames can be scanned with optional IX240 FILM ADAPTER IA-20(S) Preparates (slide glass for microscope) Prepared slides (26 x 76mm, 0. 8 ­ 1. 5mm thick) can be scanned with optional MEDICAL SLIDE HOLDER FH-G1 Aperture/Scan range/Effective aperture MA-21 25. 1 x 36. 8mm/3, 946 x 5, 782 pixels/ Same as slide mount SA-21 25. 1 x 38. 0mm/3, 946 x 5, 959 pixels/ 23. 4 x 36. 0mm IA-20(S) 18. 6 x 28. 4mm/2, 916 x 4, 453 pixels/ 16. 1 x 27. 4mm Scanning system Fixed film, movable plane single-pass optical scanning system Light source R, G, B and Infrared (IR) LEDs Image sensor 3, 964-pixel linear CCD image sensor Color separation Performed by RGB LEDs H i g h - q u a l i t y s c a n s t h e e a s y w ay S u p e r i o r- Q u a l i t y Fi l m S c a n n i n g , Q u i c k l y a n d E a s i l y E-mailing images to friends and family, web page design or digital archiving -- interested in doing any of these things better and faster?Look no further than the COOLSCAN V ED desktop film scanner. Designed to be easy enough for first-time scanner users to operate smoothly, it provides features and image quality previously found only in more expensive scanners. Factor in a selection of accessories that allows you to scan film of different types, and the result is a cost-effective, user-friendly, high-quality digital imaging tool. The COOLSCAN V ED's optical resolution of 4, 000 dpi delivers 35mm film scans at a resolution of 21 megapixels (3, 654 x 5, 646 pixels). Turn 35mm memories into digital images that offer four times the resolution of a 5 effective-megapixel digital camera!With Nikon View, you can do both with surprising ease. Nikon View's searching and tagging functions simplify the creation and maintenance of digital archives, and its browser lets you view images in thumbnail form and enlarge them as well. E-mailing images to family and friends couldn't be simpler. And with advantages like multiple layout options and sizes, and super-high resolution, producing breathtaking prints from your own color printer is both easy and enjoyable. 6 7 Specifications Media Negatives and positives, in color and monochrome 35mm slides Slides with mounts 1. 0 ­ 3. 2mm thick, 49 ­ 50. 8mm wide; optional SLIDE FEEDER SF-210 can be used to scan up to 50 slides with mounts 1. 5mm thick 35mm film strips 2 ­ 6 frames (2 ­ 40 frames with optional ROLL FILM ADAPTER SA-30); strips of 1 ­ 6 frames can be scanned with optional STRIP FILM HOLDER FH-3 Advanced Photo System (IX240) film Cartridges of 15, 25, and 40 frames can be scanned with optional IX240 FILM ADAPTER IA-20(S) Preparates (slide glass for microscope) Prepared slides (26 x 76mm, 0. 8 ­ 1. 5 mm thick) can be scanned with optional MEDICAL SLIDE HOLDER FH-G1 Aperture/Scan range/Effective aperture MA-21, SF-210 25. 1 x 36. 8mm/3, 946 x 5, 782 pixels/ Same as slide mount SA-21, SA-30 25. 1 x 38. 0mm/3, 946 x 5, 959 pixels/ 23. 4 x 36. 0mm IA-20(S) 18. 6 x 28. 4mm/2, 916 x 4, 453 pixels/ 16. 1 x 27. 4mm Scanning system Fixed film, movable plane single-pass optical scanning system Light source R, G, B and Infrared (IR) LEDs Image sensor Linear CCD image sensor with 3, 964-pixel in two adjacent lines Color separation Performed by RGB LEDs Optical resolution Up to 4, 000 pixels per inch U n r i va l e d s c a n n i n g s p e e d Speeding Into a New Era in Professional Film Scanning The new SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED is the only choice for professional photographers who demand both quality and speed. Boasting a true optical resolution of 4, 000 dpi and 16 bit A/D conversion, the 5000 ED provides amazing image quality, amazingly fast. An unmatched scanning speed of 20 seconds per image brings desktop scanning to an entirely new level. Optional adapters enhance productivity further by enabling the automatic scanning of mounted slides and uncut rolls of film. The features, quality and speed found here make the SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED ideal for imaging professionals needing quality scans at the fastest speed possible. The SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED features a new low-noise, 2-line CCD sensor which dramatically reduces scanning time compared to conventional 1-line CCD sensors. You can now scan a frame of 35mm film at super-high resolution in only 20 seconds. In addition, autofocusing speed has also been cut to a mere 4 seconds. The 5000 ED's Multi-sample scanning function makes as many as 16 passes, revealing details in shadowy areas while virtually eliminating noise. Stunning Image quality With a 4, 000 dpi optical resolution creating high-resolution, 21megapixel image data from your 35mm film, you can create large, high-quality prints.
