CanoScan FS4000US Colour Film Scanner This powerful and flexible film scanner handles 35mm negatives, slides and APS film for professional output, high resolution storage and advanced digital editing.
OUTSTANDING RESULTS WITH MULTI-FORMAT FILM HANDLING AND IMAGE OPTIMISATION. The CanoScan FS4000US offers advanced desktop film scanning, with 4000 dpi resolution from Advanced Photo System (APS) positive film and 35mm negatives and slides. It is geared to the production demands of professionals who require fast throughput, powerful colour correction and image management with PC or Macintosh systems. The dual-lamp system includes an infra-red light which works with Canon FARE technology to detect surface imperfections such as minor scratches and dust on film and corrects them automatically. Using their world-leading technologies and expertise in business machines Canon has produced a scanner that combines refined optics and a new film advance mechanism to ensure 4000 x 4000 dpi resolution for superior film reproduction. Powerful firmware and software functions are used for image optimisation and colour control. Colour enhancement is controlled during scanning by adjusting the tones in the scanned image and correcting underexposed or overexposed originals, and the autofocus has a manual override option for complete user control. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY The CCD has an advanced three-line sensor and the cold cathode mercury fluorescent lamp uses a brightness feedback circuit to ensure high, stable luminance levels for vivid 14-bit scanning per RGB channel. ADAPTABLE AND FAST For ease of use with a Macintosh or PC the CanoScan FS4000US is both USB and SCSI compatible (a switch controls which port you use). The SCSI-2 interface enables ultra-fast data transfer for high volume throughput. With a choice of adapters, and automatic detection of film type, 35mm mounted film can be scanned in groups of four, 35mm negatives in strips of six or APS film in batches of 40 frames. POWERFUL TOOLS Many of the advanced features are accessed via the new FilmGet software driver for fine adjustment and control of batch scanning, output and auto/manual controls. The CanoScan FS4000US is also supplied with PhotoShop 5.0 LE for professional image editing and retouching.

The CanoScan FS4000US is the first in its class to deliver 4000 dpi resolution and 42-bit colour depth for vivid, high quality scans. With the latest FARE technology it provides infra-red detection of minor imperfections or dust on originals for automatic retouching.

PROFESSIONAL QUAL ITY & PERFORMANCE

SUPERIOR QUALITY

Extremely fine 4,000dpi resolution
Given the small size of the film source, high resolution is absolutely essential to producing quality digital images. And when it comes to resolution, this particular CanoScan cant be beatat 4,000dpi, the FS4000US is at the top of its class for optical resolution. The results are plain to see: extremely detailed digital images that retain their high quality whether enlarged on your monitor or printed out in large format.
Autofocus and manual focus
A newly developed optical system provides a convenient Autofocus feature for accurate scans. When your film is even slightly off of the optimum focal distance, Autofocus realigns the scanners lens and CCD unit to get things just right. For added versatility, the FS4000US also offers manual focus control through the supplied driver software, FilmGet FS.
More faithful color reproduction
Color reproduction is another area where the FS4000US stands apart. Its 42-bit scanning, and cold cathode mercury fluorescent lamp form a combination which ensures higher color accuracy than conventional film scanners. Specifically, the FS4000US accurately reproduces delicate gradations between colors, and preserves a high degree of detail from the bright highlight areas and dark shadows of your photographs.

Color management support

Striking a satisfactory color balance between monitors and printers can sometimes be complicated. Whether you use the FS4000US for print or Web applications, however, its color management support helps ease the task. The scanners software supports ColorGear when youre working in Windows, and ColorSync in Mac OS.

Quick, efficient batch scanning
Not only is the FS4000US a versatile scanner that handles a variety of film types, but it's also a desktop workhorse. It can consecutively scan up to six frames of a 35mm filmstrip, 40 frames in an Advanced Photo System cartridge, or four mounted 35mm (or Advanced Photo System) slides. Film feeding is automatic, with fast average scanning time for every compatible film format. What's more, a special Preview window displays on-screen thumbnails of each shot in your batch scan.
Choosing your target application
Scan settings will differ depending on what purpose you're scanning for, whether it's to create a photo quality printout, to send images by email, or simply to view images on your monitor. But with FilmGet FS, you only have to specify your target application beforehand, and the software will make all the appropriate settings for you.
Automatic film type detection
Another way the FS4000US lightens your prescan workload is by automatically detecting the type of film you have inserted into the scanner: 35mm filmstrip or mounted slide, negative or positive Advanced Photo System film.

IMAGING PLUS

Canon-developed FARE for dust and scratch removal
Canon has developed a new technology to automatically remove dust, scratches, and other imperfections on film during scanning. FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) improves image quality by using an infrared-illuminated scan to detect flaws on the film surface, and then using unique software that samples ambient color information to restore images. Dust on film may not be visible to the eye prior to scanning, but it often becomes all too apparent when the digital image is enlarged on your monitor. FAREs ability to automatically remove surface imperfections on color positives and negatives can save hours of laborious image retouching when you are scanning multiple pictures in one session.

FARE technology does not support Kodachrome film and monochrome film.
Advanced image adjustment controls
FilmGet FS, the scanners driver software, provides you with the full range of flexible image adjustment tools. Independent adjustments can be made to brightness and contrast, histogram, tone curves, color balance, and threshold value. Taken together, these tools give you a high degree of control when you wish to fine-tune your images. The Windows version of FilmGet FS supports T WA I N - c o m p a t i bl e software (so you can access the scanner directly from that software); the Macintosh version comes as a plug-in module.

Photoshop Limited Edition included
The FS4000US software package is rounded out with the inclusion of Photoshop LE, a streamlined version of the worlds most popular image editing program. With Photoshop LE, you can compose new images, experiment with an assortment of visual effects, alter coloration, add text, and more.
