Text/Photo Mode

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 (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. In this case, you can lessen the effect by using the Sharpness mode. (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.")
NOTE
If the original is a transparency, select the original type, and adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
