IMPORTANT
If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photo, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. If this happens, you can soften the effect by using [Sharpness]. (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.")
NOTE
If the original is a transparency, select the original type → adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
