PRESCAN
AE (Auto Exposure) function is performed in the following
cases:
• When prescanning negative film.
• When selecting [Auto Expose for Slides] in the Preferences (p.89) and pres-
canning colour positive film.
AE Lock allows you to lock an auto exposure value.
Once the auto exposure is locked, multiple images in a same film are scanned with the same
exposure settings when performing the prescan and the final scan. With the AE lock function, for
example, when scanning a backlit scene or a scene where exposure comoensation has been
used, you can obtain a scanned image which reflects the exposure correction made when taking
a photograph.
