The new Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual IV film scanner
Osaka, Japan, January 7th, 2004: Konica Minolta Camera, Inc. introduces the DiMAGE Scan Dual IV film scanner as a successor model of their already worldwide-popular DiMAGE Scan Dual III. The new DiMAGE Scan Dual IV incorporates a number of features found only on high-end scanners, which make operation easy and faithfully reproduce film images into digital in less work time. Moreover, it uses a new 3200 dpi CCD to deliver higher image quality and yet it is still affordably priced for a 35 mm/Advanced Photo System film scanner. The DiMAGE Scan Dual IV delivers high image quality that will satisfy photo enthusiasts by not only adopting a new high performance 3-line color 3200 dpi CCD, but also by incorporating an advanced optical system specifically designed for film scanning consisting of a film scanner lens that condenses the technology of Konica Minolta, and an auto focusing system that is not available in flatbed scanners. With a 16-bit A/D conversion and a wide dynamic range of 4.8, the DiMAGE Scan Dual IV faithfully reproduces the rich variations in tone from light to dark of the original film image. Moreover, Multi-sample Scanning improves the scan data by reducing random noise. The DiMAGE Scan Dual IV features advanced image correction technology. Auto Dust Brush Auto Dust Brush automatically detects dust on the film surface that blowers cannot remove, and corrects the image. Moreover, a Photoshop Plug-in has been added so that images can be corrected in real-time using the bundled software Photoshop Elements 2.0. Users can also select areas for correction, and adjust the processing level. Pixel Polish Pixel Polish brings various corrective features for matching the overall image to specific elements in the picture such as person, night scene, trees and sky, in addition to allowing the user to restore faded colors, or correcting backlit and under/over exposure. Digital Grain Dissolver Digital Grain Dissolver reduces the affect of grain in color film without sacrificing original image detail.
Thanks to improved sequences in the scanning process and the USB2.0 interface, high speed operation including image transfer and display is possible only 21 seconds per image even at the highest resolution of 3200 dpi. The DiMAGE Scan Dual IVs high-speed auto focus with an upgraded algorithm and improved motor drive control allows the scanner to be focused quickly onto the center or a selected point within the image. The DiMAGE Scan Dual IV makes operation easier and shortens work time by incorporating the Batch Scan and the Quick Scan function. Batch Scan Utility enables continuous scanning under user-set optical input resolution, exposure and Image correction, so scan work is more efficient. And, because pressing the Quick Scan button allows the user to scan 6 continuous frames, users can shorten the amount time needed to complete scan work.

Smoother gradations through 16-bit A/D conversion
With the ability to identify over 65,000 gradations in each of its colour channels (RGB), the DiMAGE Scan Dual III can capture the essence of your film source. It generates digital images with ultra-smooth gradations and shadow area detail that cant be detected by less refined 12-bit processing. Additional support for accurate colour reproduction comes from the scanners wide 4.8 dynamic range.

Incredibly detailed 2,820dpi images
Featuring optical resolution of up to 2,820dpi, the DiMAGE Scan Dual III delivers detail-rich images for practically any application. Photos scanned for Web pages or electronic photo albums can be displayed with razor-sharp clarity. And youll be able to extract plenty of data for creative image editing. High scanning resolution is also a must for making high-quality print enlargements.
Multi-sample scanning for clearer scans
Random noise in the dark area of an image can be suppressed by setting the unit to sample your film a number of times during scanning. This extra information leads to cleaner scans.

12-bit A/D

2,820dpi
Exceptional precision from Minoltas exclusive focusing system
To ensure the sharpness thats crucial for high image quality, the DiMAGE Scan Dual III is equipped with sophisticated autofocusing technology. This system offers fast and accurate focus adjustment with a wide range of film images, including low-contrast ones. Other focusing options are Point AF and manual focus adjustment in 200 steps.
Accurate negative-to-positive conversion
You can get great scans from negative film thanks to an advanced conversion process. Colours are converted with optimum fidelity to the images captured on your negatives.

Create Superb Digital Images from All of Your Film and Slides
Rapid data transfer with USB 2.0
The USB 2.0 interface gives you a fast way of transferring scan data to your hard drive, and has the added convenience of Plug & Play. USB 1.1 is also supported.
Windows USB 1.1 USB 2.seconds 30 seconds Final Scan Scanning times are approximate. Scan conditions: 35mm positive film, 1 frame at 2,820dpi. Mac OS: USB 1.1 only.
Safe, quick film loading for batch scans
The film holders, which can be easily set without fear of fingerprints, are designed to protect your film from all sides. Film loading is automatic, and you can load up to 6 frames (film sleeve) or 4 mounted slides for continuous batch scanning.
Fast & User-Friendly Scanning

Automatic dust removal

Easy Scan Utility & Custom Wizard
The Easy Scan Utility offers a menu of different end uses for one-step scan settings. Another interface, the Custom Wizard, displays controls for each step of the scanning process, from batch scanning to image adjustment. Use it to access histogram, tone curve, and other compensation tools.
Pixel Polish for auto matic colour correction
Perhaps the colours of your old films are a little faded. Or maybe certain hues dont look the way they should. Minoltas Pixel Polish software provides an instant solution to these and other problems. It can automatically reconstruct lost colour, fix colour casting, and adjust overall brightness.

Underexposure Faded colours
Advantages over Flatbed Scanners
When it comes to scanning film or slides, the DiMAGE Scan Dual III is simply better!
Even if you use a dust blower, small dust particles might remain on your filmand youll notice this in your image data. But the DiMAGE Scan Dual III wont let you down. Its handy Auto Dust Brush function uses software processing to quickly and automatically clean your image. That saves you the time and trouble of doing this tedious task with image editing software.
Greater focusing accuracy from specialised optics Higher optical resolution, which produces more detail Faster overall scan times due to brighter film illumination Safer film handling with specially designed holders A more sophisticated range of image correction software A smaller, space-saving footprint
