Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for photos printed on photographic paper.

IMPORTANT |
If you scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed image, using the Photo mode, the moiré effect may occur. If this happens, you can lessen the effect by using [Sharpness]. (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.") |
NOTE |
If the original is a transparency/clear film, select the original type, and adjust the density to the most appropriate level for the original. |
