The Nikon CoolScan V ED is one of the latest products by Nikon in the market. Like any other scanner, the most basic feature to look for is the dpi or the optical resolution of the scanner. The CoolScan has a dpi rating of 4000. This scanner offers a great deal for amateur photographers or those who are aspiring to step into the world of professional photography. The Nikon CoolScan V ED film scanner is a handy machine which is the size of a normal box. It can fit in most places easily without taking up precious space. The scanner comes with software which you need to install on your PC and the installation process is pretty straight forward and doesn’t take much time.
You can easily connect the scanner to your PC via the USB port which has been especially integrated into the scanner for the ease of users. The lens that has been used in this scanner is Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass lens which is new in Nikon Scanners. The timing of the Nikon CoolScan V ED scanner is 38 seconds per scan. A lot of attention has been also paid to the quality of the image that is produced by the Nikon CoolScan V ED scanner. In order to make sure that the quality and the color of old images are enhanced, Nikon has integrated Digital ICE4 technology from Kodak’s Austin Development Center. This technology consists of Digital ROC which helps in enhancing the color of old photos.
Apart from the ROC, the technology consists of Digital GEM which minimizes the grain and the Digital DEE and optimizes the contrast and the exposure of the scanned image. The fourth component of the ICE4 technology is the Digital ICE which removes the effect of any scratches or dust on the image without damaging the sharpness of the image. This innovative brings old and faded photos back to life. Even the smallest dots in old negs are slides are covered by the ICE technology. In order to save on time, the scanner has the option of auto focus which reduces the amount of work that you need to do because the scanner adjusts the focus itself. The LED illumination technology in the CoolScan has been designed by Nikon and the LED lamp requires no warm-up time after the scanner is turned on. Other than that, the LED technology in the CoolScan removes the risk of heat damage which might be caused by the lamp.
