The principle of this guy is very simple: a glowing backplane brightens the film, which is then shot by the camera and transmitted back to the computer. Looking at the number of pixels in the brief introduction, we know that the interpolation camera should not have run, and the effect can be imagined. Although the quality of the processing cannot be compared with that of a professional store, it is more than sufficient for archiving, so it is called “toy.†The reason I didn’t hand it over to the store is because the number of negatives in the home is too much and it’s limited by the cost Finally, I chose to scan for myself and memorize it separately.
I've been using it for a while, so it's easy to unpack it.
Remove the manual and CD-ROM, the contents are as follows:
Left: Negative clip Right: Positive clip Upper: Scanner body Lower: Cleaning brush
The machine body has only one scan button and power light, as well as channels that allow the film to pass through.
The film is divided into positive and negative film clips. This article uses negative film as an example.
What is a positive film?
What is a negative?
In short, what looks like a colorful picture is a positive one. A piece of black ink is a negative film.
The small protrusions in the clips are used to hold the film.
Can I put the film in and scan it?
Slow !
You need a pair of gloves to prevent the negatives from being contaminated by fingerprints.
If the film is a full roll, cut it in sections and place it in the film pocket.
Select the film you want to scan, load the film holder and secure it.
The effect of closing the clip is shown in the figure.
The lens of the scanner does not completely cover the frame of the film holder, so it does not matter if there is a white space between the sheet and the sheet.
Can I put the film in and scan it now?
Slow !
Let me introduce this brush...
What is the use of this brush?
Unless your home is a dust-free environment, when you open the scanning software, the screen must be full of hair .
At this time, we must use a cleaning brush to engage in a .
Basically, one sweep will be wiped back and forth, and even this will not prevent dust and hair from appearing on the screen. ......
Ignore these details and you can start scanning .
Arrow to arrow, insert !
After sweeping one grid and pushing one grid, pushing it into place will limit the sense of position, and you can also confirm whether the position of the negative film is correct from the computer screen.
The supporting software features are simple and crude, WYSIWYG.
寥寥 Several parameter options are displayed to everyone with GIF.
That's right, the picture is the landlord, and I was still a quiet beauty man. ......
Click on the software button or the scanner's physical buttons, less than a second, the picture is stored.
The sizes and sizes of images generated by 1800dpi and 3600dpi are as shown in the figure below, and the results are no different.
Although the final result is not outstanding, every time a roll of old photos is released, the whole family will always have a lively discussion. Those memories worthy of collection will come to the forefront. Based on this alone, this tiny film scanner was worth me .
Here are a few scans.
Thank you for seeing the end.
