Question:	What is the difference between DiMAGE Scan Dual IV and DiMAGE Scan Dual III?
Answer:	The following items are main differences between Dual IV and Dual III: - High resolution (quality) The optical resolution power (maximum) is 2820dpi on Dual III. Adopted new CCD on Dual IV, 3200dpi is achieved. Its circuit and software were adjusted to suit the CCD, and the sharp and firm image can be produced. - Interface Dual III supports USB2.0 only for Windows. Dual IV supports USB2.0 for both Windows and Macintosh, and the high speed data transfer can be operated on both environments. - New film holder with 100% field of view The film holder (only sleeve) and hardware were changed, and it enables scanning of the entire image (equivalent to 100% field of view) (same level as Elite5400). - Quick Scan Button Pressing the button activates the launcher and enables to select a utility (Easy / Normal / Batch Scan) (same function as Elite5400). - Batch Scan Utility Newly equipped, and multiple images in the same folder or adaptor can be scanned continuously with the same settings (same function as Elite5400) - Grain Dissolver When the grain of film is noticeable, using this function reduces the granularity. (same function as Elite5400). - Auto Dust Brush Plug-in It works on the image processing software. It is the software to make the small dust on the image unnoticeable. If there is a part where dust still remains after using Auto Dust Brush on the utility, limit the area and use this function. Upgraded functions from Dual III - High-speed AF / High-speed Scan (Index Scanning) Improving the circuit and image processing sequence, the speed of AF and scanning increased. (same level as Elite5400). [Oral disclosure only] Image quality Adopting new CCD on Dual IV, the high resolution power and its image processing algorithm has been improved. Therefore, the scanned images may be different a little, but we believe this model achieved higher image quality because it was adjusted to meet user needs. *For image quality, reply orally only when you received the inquiry from users.

Question:

What is the difference between DiMAGE Scan Dual IV and DiMAGE Scan Dual III?

Answer:

The following items are main differences between Dual IV and Dual III:
- High resolution (quality)
The optical resolution power (maximum) is 2820dpi on Dual III. Adopted new CCD on Dual IV, 3200dpi is achieved. Its circuit and software were adjusted to suit the CCD, and the sharp and firm image can be produced.
- Interface
Dual III supports USB2.0 only for Windows. Dual IV supports USB2.0 for both Windows and Macintosh, and the high speed data transfer can be operated on both environments.
- New film holder with 100% field of view
The film holder (only sleeve) and hardware were changed, and it enables scanning of the entire image (equivalent to 100% field of view) (same level as Elite5400).
- Quick Scan Button
Pressing the button activates the launcher and enables to select a utility (Easy / Normal / Batch Scan) (same function as Elite5400).
- Batch Scan Utility
Newly equipped, and multiple images in the same folder or adaptor can be scanned continuously with the same settings (same function as Elite5400)
- Grain Dissolver
When the grain of film is noticeable, using this function reduces the granularity. (same function as Elite5400).
- Auto Dust Brush Plug-in
It works on the image processing software. It is the software to make the small dust on the image unnoticeable. If there is a part where dust still remains after using Auto Dust Brush on the utility, limit the area and use this function.
Upgraded functions from Dual III
- High-speed AF / High-speed Scan (Index Scanning)
Improving the circuit and image processing sequence, the speed of AF and scanning increased. (same level as Elite5400).
