5. Loading Negatives

Hold up the negative toward the light. As you

look through the negative you should be able

to read the small negative numbers normally

(not a mirror image).

Now turn the negative so the image is upside

down while looking at the same side.

Open the negative holder at the marked spot

on the top. With the negative holder laid open

place the negative into holder so the notches

line up with the notches on the holder.

Note: Handle negatives with care. Any dust,

scratches or fingerprints will show up on your saved images. If possible use

cotton gloves when handling negatives. It is recommended to use compressed

air to remove any dust on the negatives.

This is not included with the film scanner but

can be purchased from an office supply or

electronics retailer.

Close the negative holder and press the edges

so that it locks in place

Hold it in the position as shown in the film

scanner.

Insert the negative holder into the slot on the

right side of the film scanner as shown.

Film Holder: The design of film holder is follow

ISO standard. In some cases the holes on the

film will not match exactly to alignment of the holder. This is caused by a non-

standard camera. In this case there will be a small black line on the edge of

the frame that can easily be cropped out using photo editing software.
