ADF is an abbreviation for “Automatic Document Feeder“. The Nikon LS 5000ED / Super Coolscan 5000 ED film scanner is able to feed in small and medium format slides or filmstrips automatically. This means, the user does not have to transport the filmholder from image to image by hand, but controls the feeder with SilverFast 8. This manual describes how to use the SilverFast 8 ADF functionality.
SilverFast Multi-Exposure records an original’s maximum Dynamic Range by performing a double scan with an increased exposure time of the second scan. This procedure captures the light image area’s details in the first pass and the shadow details in the second.
Using SilverFast Multi-Exposure, the number of detectable grayscales reaches very high values that can otherwise only be achieved by drum scanners.
We recommend a more powerful scan software such as SilverFast, as the included Nikon Scan is out of the scanner’s depth. SilverFast also offers the possibility to calibrate the scanner. The tools for automatic corrections are working properly and contribute to better imaging results. […] Grain can be effectively reduced by multiple scanning. The autofocus accomplishes a perfect job for accurately mounted slides and smooth film strips.
We would like to thank you for the superior service and we would like to give feedback that we are very satisfied with the SilverFast 8.8 software for the Nikon LS5000. The application is clearly structured and we have been able to work immediately without great instructions.
