Scanning odd, non-standard sized negatives on a CanoScan 8800F is easier than you think. My sister inherited my Dad's negatives when he passed away and I was busily scanning all the old 35mm negatives using MP Navigator EX and my CanoScan 8800F flatbed scanner. Then I came across some negatives that didn't fit the film trays I had. And then there were other negatives that fit the film tray but that the scanning software did not correctly interpret - the "cut off points" between images was off and the images were not being scanned properly. In doing some initial research it seemed like I was going to have to build or buy a new film holder to be able to scan these non-standard size negatives. But doing additional research yielded some easier solutions. Click thumbnail to view full-size What Film Format are Various Sized Negatives? How Can We Scan Them? We found this website that showed images of several negative sizes with photos of each kind of negative.
So I now knew that the film strip with the incorrect "cut off" points was from a 110 camera. The other negatives looked like some that we had, but the measurements weren't exactly right. However, I couldn't figure out how to get ScanGear to load, it's not one of the options in the program menu on my computer (Windows 7 PC). How to Launch ScanGear? Once you click the checkbox to "Use the Scanner Driver" when you click Scan, ScanGear launches and you get a whole new menu screen/dialogue box for ScanGear. As you can see in the next photo, the initial "Preview" Scan of the negatives still shows the "cut off" points spaced incorrectly. While the default preview didn't choose the right image sizes, now that you are using ScanGear you can customize your scan by using your mouse to select the correct images to scan. You can even choose not to scan an image in between other good images by clicking the delete button when the marquee is around the image you don't want to scan. Use the Mouse to Select the Images You Want to Scan.
After all, hundreds of normal car noise, clunks and vibrations are perceptible without the background hum of an engine. Nissan even had to create special wiper motors for the Leaf - as even the quietest Infiniti wipers still caused too much cabin disturbance. This level of minute tweaks to a production model is why almost no automakers have BEV versions of normal cars. But this is no ordinary Golf under the skin. IAA 2013 - Volkswagen electrifies high-volume production: World premieres of the e-Golf and e-up! The e-Golf. Das e-Auto. The world champion of efficiency. Wolfsburg, 27 August 2013 - In a dual world premiere, Volkswagen will be presenting two new and extremely efficient electric cars at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt (10th to 22nd September): the e-up! Golf. This means that Europe’s most successful carmaker is transitioning two high-volume production models to the age of electric mobility. Both zero-emissions cars offer unlimited everyday practicality, each has four doors, and they are attractively equipped. Standard features: automatic climate control with parking heater and ventilation, radio-navigation system, windscreen heating, LED daytime running lights and, in the e-Golf, the Volkswagen brand’s first use of LED headlights.
The two newcomers are also leaders in energy efficiency: the e-up! 11.7 kWh of electricity per 100 km - this makes it the new world champion in efficiency. The e-Golf, positioned two classes higher, attains an excellent value of 12.7 kWh. Given an electricity price of €0.258 per kWh (Germany, as of 31st July 2013), driving 100 km with the e-up! €3.02, and with the e-Golf it is around €3.30. Made in Germany. Innovative drive technologies are core competencies at Volkswagen. Therefore, the e-motors, gearboxes and lithium-ion batteries of the e-up! Golf are developed in-house, and they are manufactured in large Volkswagen component plants in Germany. Typical Volkswagen. All Volkswagen are intuitive to operate, extremely practical in everyday use and sophisticated, and these traits have been fully transferred to the brand’s new e-vehicles. The zero-emission cars from Volkswagen are manufactured with the same high-volume production systems as their counterparts with combustion engines.
