■ [Fading Correction]
The fading correction feature rebuilds the color quality that has faded over time. It
also increases saturation of dull-colored originals to reproduce a vivid image. The
default setting is [OFF].
NOTE
• This setting is not available when [Canon ColorGear] is selected in the [Color Settings]
tab in the [Preferences] dialog box.
• This setting is reflected also in the preview image.
• This setting is available when [Color] is selected in [Color Mode].
• You cannot apply this setting when the preview image is not displayed.
• If you set [Fading Correction] to [Low], [Medium], or [High], scanning may take more time.
• The fading correction may not work when the scanning area is too small.
■ [Grain Correction]
The grain correction feature smoothes out the film grain of the image recorded on
fast film. The result is smoother tones and higher overall quality. The default setting
is [OFF].
NOTE
• This setting is not reflected in the preview image.
• This setting is available when [Color] or [Grayscale] is selected in [Color Mode].
• If you set [Grain Correction] to [Low], [Medium], or [High], scanning may take more time.
