Do you have the ability to focus your slides or it a fixed focus?

This is a fixed focus unit as is my older Nikon slide scanner. I have scanned several thousand slides with no problems with focus. I have also scanned a number of older prints as well. The only thing I would say is that you will probably need to do some color correcting of your scanned color slides. I use a micro fiber cloth and canned air to clean my slides and scan using their version of digital ice.

The slides cannot be focused . However they were shot is how they come out. If you have a good photoshop program you can monkey around with color and fixing the pic but focus is something that just isn't fixable. At least not to my knowledge.

it does magnify them, but i'm not sure how much. if you just want to look to get an idea of what the slide is, the window is fine. if you want more, like who, where, etc. I would recommend the viewer. I used it to sort slides that i inherited to decide what to put on a disk to share with the rest of the family. It was a good investment for that.

No, there are no settings to be changed should you desire to use break in slides.

Thanks a lot! Any other suggestions? All-in-one with medium format slide scanner?

Yes it can be focused but don't know to what degree. I never tried to focus on anything that close. Great little camera tho

No, only when you want to focus, then that is normal. The there is a delay before the next shot but one can skip that if you want. Best camera we've had, great close-up shots.

As far as I know, the machine itself refocuses for you. If you're working with a blurry slide, then nothing can be done to improve it.

No, I don't think you can focus it. I think it works great and I've never needed to focus. I use it to check the tubes in my daughters ears all the time.

Hello. Sorry to report that it DOESN'T have focus peaking. Perhaps they can include it in a future firmware version.

Me too, I work either in Manual or with Aperture preselects on, the latter being the most convenient.I find the focusing the most challenging.

Yes I can, but have not tried to scan many slides yet. I know that I can count on your support and the support of other customers for any question or problems I face.

I have not tried. So, I cannot say that you can or can't. I only use it to change slides. Sorry.

yes -- you can actually copy a slide with this camera, as long as you stop down to f 5.6 or smaller.

None at all on my M- it is a bit slow in the focus- but when I combined it with a short loupe to act as a viewfinder it became handy. Mine works perfectly except for the focussing time. VRR

I can't give you an exact number, but these slides are best viewed under lower magnification (power). Most educational slides look best under low magnification - even with really nice microscopes. Low magnification actually just looks cooler most of the time - you can see more of the specimen, it's brighter, and you can still focus clearly. Higher magnification means that you need more light (the image is darker), you see less of the specimen, and the focus is the same :( I bought these and I wouldn't recommend these particular slides - but that opinion is not related to microscope power. The best of these slides will look really nice under low power. The worst will look bad no matter what, and even worse under high magnification.

Yes you can also use a manual focus. it isn't something that I would use but it is there

Yes. Assuming you are talking about doing a video recording. Once you uncheck the "Auto Focus" control option you will have the ability to do a manual focus with the slider.
