Random noise may sometimes occur in the dark areas of an image. To help minimize this, you can set the DiMAGE Scan DuaL III to sample your film 2, 4, 8 times, or OFF. This enables it to obtain more information from the film source, resulting in clearer scans.
Fast and accurate autofocusing
Minolta's innovative focusing system offers rapid autofocus calibration, and uses a propriety method to achieve high focus accuracy with any type of film image. You'll get sharp scans even from low-contrast images. For added flexibility, you can switch to Point AF or use manual focus to make fine adjustments in +/-200 steps.

Negative film differs from positive film in several subtle ways, so a different process is needed to ensure high image quality. The advanced conversion process of the DiMAGE Scan Dual III makes sure that your negatives are scanned with optimum fidelity to the original film images.
Accurate color matching
Color MatchingTo deal with the problem of inconsistent colors, the scanner comes equipped with an effective color matching system that maintains uniform color among different monitors, operating systems, and image editing software. This will make it easier for you to manage colors for electronic or print applications.
