The OpticFilm 8300i SE uses specific film holders for 35mm slides and negative film strips. Ensure your film or slides are clean before loading to minimize dust accumulation.
Image 3.1: Properly insert your 35mm film strips or mounted slides into the appropriate film holder.
- Select the correct film holder for your media (slide holder for mounted slides, film strip holder for negative strips).
- Carefully insert your slides or film strips into the designated slots in the holder. Ensure they are seated correctly and flat.
- Insert the loaded film holder into the scanner's film slot. Note that this scanner requires manual advancement of the film holder for each frame.

4.2 Film and Slide Preparation
Dust and scratches on your original film or slides are the primary cause of imperfections in scanned images. While the scanner's iSRD feature is effective, pre-cleaning your media is highly recommended.
- Before loading, use a small air blower (like a photographic dust blower) to remove loose dust particles from your film and slides.
- Avoid touching the film surface directly with your fingers. Handle film by the edges or wear clean cotton gloves.
