Autofocus • Overview

• For some ScanMate scanners, ColorQuartet includes an Autofocus function that adjusts the

focus perfectly for each individual scan.

• Autofocus is particularly useful if an image is mounted with the emulsion side away from the

drum or mounting plate.

• Autofocus and manual adjustment of the Focus Elevation (focal point) can be activated for each

crop area separately.

• Using Autofocus adds about 60 seconds per image to the scanning time.

• NOTE: Autofocus looks for an area of the image that is appropriately high in contrast for focus-

ing. If it cannot find enough contrast, the default value from the last focus calibration is used.
