5400 dpi Film Scanner
The DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 is a stylish 35mm film scanner combining
incredible 5400 dpi resolution with advanced features such as Digital ICE
image restoration technology, 16-bit A/D conversion, USB 2.0 interface, a
new Quick Scan function and easy-to-use controls. With high resolution
capability and 16-bit A/D conversion, the DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 can easi-
ly make up to full-frame 20 x 24˝ photo-quality prints while reproducing the
rich variations in tone and color of the original film image. And to get the
best results possible without the need for any complicated software, the
scanner incorporates award-winning Digital ICE technology to automatically
reduce the appearance of dust and scratches as well as other film surface contamination such as fingerprints.
Conveniences
◆ The 5400's stylish metal body is a wel-
come change from the drab, featureless
designs common to computer products.
The slim, vertical body creates a small
footprint to minimize clutter around the
computer, and the supplied scanner
stand can be used for added stability.
◆ Driver software includes guidance
through to printing and advanced color
matching. The bundled Easy Scan Utility
simplifies the scanning procedure for
those new to scanning and image pro-
cessing. Simply select the film type, the
pictures to be scanned, and how the
images are to be used; the scanner will
do the rest. Automatic image processing
can also be applied. The images can then
be saved directly to the computer or
printed out on your printer.
◆ Connect to a computer via IEEE1394
(FireWire) or USB 2.0 interface. Both
have fast data transfer rates, which is
important for the large image files that
can be created with the DiMAGE Scan
Elite 5400.
◆ Like the Multi-PRO, film holders use a
hinged cover to hold 35 filmstrips and
mounted slides, mounted Advanced
Photo System slides, and 35mm negatives
and print sleeves.
◆ Additionally, the slide mount holder
allows a single slide to be changed with-
out having to eject the holder from the
scanner.
Quick and Easy Image Correction
Grain Dissolver: With today's very high resolution films the normal grain of the film
itself can be quite noticeable in the image. Scanning with the Grain Dissolver function
helps reduce this graininess, allowing a smooth creation of high-quality scanned images
at the full resolution capacity of 5,400 dpi. When a precise level of graininess is impor-
tant, Digital ICE can be used to achieve the desired result.
Digital ICE: The award-winning Digital ICE dramatically reduces the affects of dust and
scratches as well as other surface contamination such as fingerprints. (See next page
for more details).
Pixel Polish: Pixel Polish makes improving picture quality simple. Automatic image-
processing corrections for color, exposure, and scene selection are made by clicking on
the parameters which best describe the picture; the DiMAGE Scan Utility will instantly
show the result. Pixel Polish can also restore faded colors on film, and check the
restored image using a real-time simulation.
5,400 dpi Input Resolution
Uses a 5300-pixel, 3-line CCD to achieve a
resolution of 5,400 dpi. To accurately view
image details, the Scan Elite 5400 uses an
advanced optical lens system of eight lenses
in four groups. This technology allows all
the detail in today's high-resolution films to
be captured effortlessly. As a result, the
DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 can create full-frame
20 x 24˝ photo-quality prints.
16-bit A/D Conversion
With 16-bit A/D conversion, the 5400 will
reproduce the rich variations in tone and
color of the original film image. 16-bit A/D
conversion distinguishes 65,536 tonal grada-
tions for each color channel. The ability to
capture the depth and subtlety of the origi-
nal film image is outstanding.
Quick Scan and Batch Scan
Quick Scan function makes initializing the
scanner and software as easy as pressing a
button. It allows selection among the stan-
dard DiMAGE Scan Utility, the Easy Scan
Utility, or the Batch Scan Utility as well as
the setting of a shortcut to a specific appli-
cation. The Batch Scan Utility allows large
volumes of film to be scanned without hav-
ing to make individual settings for each
image; simply press the scan button to acti-
vate the utility for each batch of film.
Manual Focusing
For critical control over image sharpness, in
addition to the autofocus functions, the 5400
can be manually focused. To complement
the software control, a large manual focus
dial allows fine adjustments to be made
quickly and precisely.
