The DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II boasts class-leading 5,400 dpi resolution that transforms a single frame of 35mm film into more than 42.2-megapixels of rich, 16-bit color data. Designed specifically to meet the demands of people who are serious about image quality, it captures every detail and tonal nuance of the original, allowing you to produce stunningly beautiful large-format prints (up to 19.1-by-12.8-inches at 400 dpi, 38.3-by-25.5-inches at 200 dpi). In so many ways, the DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II is simply better.
Features:
- 5,400 dpi optical resolution produces greater detail
- Faster scan times owing to a brighter light source
- More sophisticated image correction
- Accurate, in-focus scans if your film is slightly curved
- Special holders to protect your films
- Smaller footprint
High-speed focusing and scanning
An improved drive mechanism, optimized internal processing, and proprietary optics contribute to significantly faster setup, scanning, and autofocusing. Scanning is particularly fast and now takes only about 25 seconds per frame.
New film expert algorithm for enhanced color fidelity
Scanning color negatives can be a tricky business, even for experts. But with the DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II, you can take advantage of a new Film Expert algorithm that draws on decades of Konica Minolta expertise in photofinishing and optical imaging technology. As a result, you can get consistently beautiful results without the hassle of manually adjusting scanner settings to match the different exposure characteristics and color balance of various types of negative film.
Edge-to-edge full-frame scanning
There's no need to compromise on scanning area when you're working with filmstrips, because the DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II offers edge-to-edge 24-by-24-millimeter scanning that captures 100% of the frame.
Multi-sample scanning for rich shadow detail
Multi-sample scanning allows images to be scanned 2, 4, 8, or 16 times, significantly reducing random noise in shadow areas and revealing tonal gradations that would otherwise be lost.
16-bit A/D conversion
16-bit analog-to-digital signal conversion and a wide, 4.8 dynamic range deliver over 65,000 gradations in each of the three RGB color channels. The result is smooth shading of color tones, with excellent shadow and highlight detail.
Precise focus control
Proprietary Konica Minolta film grain detection technology assures accurate autofocusing even on low-contrast images, with an improved AF drive system for enhanced speed. In addition, a Point AF function and a Manual Focus Dial are provided for those special situations where you want to exercise maximum control over image sharpness.
Auto-Loading index and high-speed preview for faster throughput
Automatic index scanning begins as soon as you load the film holder, providing a quick index preview of all frames loaded -- up to 4 frames with the slide mount holder, and up to 6 frames with the 35mm film holder. Enlarged previews can be instantly displayed in the Index Palette!
Advanced Digital ICE Technology
A set of four powerful image enhancement tools makes it easy to clean up and correct imperfections as images are being scanned. The result is an effortless and dramatic improvement in image quality.
Easy film and slide handling
35mm film holder A convenient holder for 6-frame negative or positive filmstrips. Film is securely held to ensure maximum flatness for focusing accuracy.
Slide mount holder
A 4-frame holder for 35mm mounted slides. The slide in the end-most position can be replaced without removing the holder from the scanner, making it easy to perform additional scans.
Dust and scratch removal
Identifies and removes dust, scratches, and other surface defects without blurring and softening details in the underlying image.
Color restoration
Uses advanced dye signature analysis to identify and restore faded colors on older film and slide images.
Film grain management
Analyzes film emulsion patterns and reduces graininess while preserving image quality, color, and sharpness.
Shadow and highlight optimization
Automatically optimizes contrast and exposure to reveal additional image detail in areas of deep shadow or extreme highlight.
