My film scans are distorted or blurred. What should I do?

• Check the following:
  • Make sure the document lies flat on the document table. Also make sure your document is not wrinkled or warped.
  • Make sure you do not move the document or scanner while scanning.
  • Make sure the scanner is placed on a flat, stable surface.
  • Select Unsharp Mask in Epson Scan's Professional Mode window. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for documents or photos, or Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for film or slides.
  • Adjust the Auto Exposure setting in Epson Scan's Professional Mode window. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for documents or photos, or Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for film or slides.
  • You can also select Color Control and Continuous auto exposure in the Configuration window, or select the Color tab and click the Recommended Value button to return the Auto Exposure setting to the default. See Epson Scan Help for details.
  • Increase the Resolution setting. See Selecting the Scan Resolution for instructions.
