COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED)
|
|
|
|
Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of its new scanner - the COOLSCAN IV ED.
Developed as a general-use film scanner within the new COOLSCAN series, it enables 35mm / IX240 film scanning at true 2,900-dpi optical resolution. Its 12-bit A / D conversion input and 16-bit output deliver accurate color reproduction. What's more, it offers high-speed scanning (approx. 42 sec. from image transfer to display) at 2,900 dpi.
The COOLSCAN IV ED frees photographers from time-consuming film management such as sorting, arranging and storing of film, and offers easy access to the exciting world of digital images.
For the film scanner novice, the new COOLSCAN IV ED acts as a "film's digital bridge", enabling scanning of higher quality than that of a flatbed scanner capable of "transillumination". It can even restore faded or orange-tinged discolored negative film to true, brilliant color, previously a difficult process for beginners.
The COOLSCAN IV ED's superior image quality is supported by an advanced SCANNER NIKKOR ED lens with reduced chromatic aberration and minimized image distortion, newly developed custom CCD for clear resolution, and a new Setup function featuring intelligent tone and color auto-correction. In addition, gentler-on-film LED illumination ensures consistently accurate color reproduction.
Furthermore, the new digital image correction function Digital ICE³™ (cubed)* resolves defects such as film surface dust and scratches, faded color, mold and grain, that cannot be corrected with ordinary scanners. Digital ICE³™ comprises Digital ICE™ (Image Correction & Enhancement), Digital ROC™ (Reconstruction of Colors), and Digital GEM™ (Grain Equalization & Management).
For easy connection with a computer, commonly used USB interface is adopted.

- Newly developed custom CCD reduces image noise, and provides clear resolution
- Proprietary LED technology ensures consistently accurate color reproduction
- Fast 42-sec. scanning at 2,900 dpi (including image transfer to display)
- New setup function for color negative film, featuring intelligent tone and color auto-correction, enables fine reproduction of orange-tinged negative film
- Quick AF & Quick Preview
- Various film formats (35mm [135], IX240, etc.)
- Easy-to-connect USB interface
- Improved Color Management System accuracy
- Digital ICE³™ automatic digital image correction function
- Digital ICE™ (Image Correction & Enhancement), a refined version of the function known as "CleanImage" in the earlier LS-2000 and LS-30, removes dust, scratches and finger prints from scanned images
Digital ICE™ applies to color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with Kodachrome film.
- Digital ROC™ (Reconstruction of Color) restores faded images to true, brilliant color by determining ideal color tone for each image.
- Digital GEM™ (Grain Equalization & Management) equalizes image grain resulting in a smoother overall image.
