My daughter bought this for me and I just started using it and it is very easy and I do love it! The only thing is when you put the negatives in, they are not straight and you have to play with it a little bit to get it exactly how you like it. I have tons and tons of negatives to do so this will not be a fast process but this scanner is really awesome so I can't complain. Just so happy to be able to put these negatives to digital will be fantastic. I am going to save them all in the default settings and then adjust them in Photoshop elements to make them even better.
@kodakplus6508 😊 I agree! After checking out the reviews on RUclips for online apps that scan photos and negatives it left me feeling uneasy about the fact that my data is being used and collected. Furthermore these apps have a lot of pop up adds and provides the user with little control over cropping and enhancing or colorizing their photos correctly. The Kodak scanner solves all of these issues and seems to be one of the simplest, most effective and affordable scanners on the market. I was especially excited to learn that this device can scan my 110 negatives, because most other scanners are designed to fit only 35mm negatives. Most of my collection is from 110 film cameras. I look forward to checking out the Kodak website for more information and possible sale coupons. I can’t wait to get started on my negatives and sharing them with my family and friends soon! Thank goodness I discovered this video. It’s been extremely helpful!🤗🎞️📷
Thank for the tutorial. I was on the fence between this one & the Minolta. Also, & this is the most important - Thanks for your service. It means something to me.
Thank you so much. I was so confused with the manual instructions. You made this so easy for a grandmother who has negatives that are almost 50 years old. I am just worried because some of the negatives are purple on screen. But if I can get the picture, then I will be able to play with the color on my computer.
very cool you were involved in some cool top secret stuff and thank you for serving. Thank you so much for a very detailed breakdown of this product I have some negatives i need to get digitally uploaded and this video helped me figure out how.
I'm thinking of buying this soon but may I ask how's the output of the photos? I'm concerned about the colour being downgraded and losing its film look of certain film styles like the Fujifilm or Kodak Gold film has their own characteristic look to them. Since it's becoming more expensive to develop it in store, I was thinking of doing it myself and printing them.
The film still needs to be developed first. The scanner scans developed negatives. If you have these quality concerns, then I recommend further research. I’m not familiar enough with those details to answer your question. I just ran the negatives through the scanner, confirmed the the picture was on the computer screen, was satisfied that they were saved electronically, and I will probably never look at them again. M I have not printed the scanned image and compared it to a professionally printed picture from the negative. But, I will add that to my list of future videos!
Sure wish you had shown the slide scanner function. When I choose "Film Type" by pressing OK a sub menu comes up that reads "50mm Slide - Color Negative - B&W Negative". Now I select 50mm Slide by click OK. Now I get another submenu that gives me a choice of "135 Film - 110 Film - 126 Film". I would think that when I choose the 50mmSlide function that should be it but NONO just the film submenu. Any ideas? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
I did not personally try the slide selection because I don’t have any slides. But I did not think it was necessary. Like you, I assumed that if you select slide, it would be ready to look at slides! Unfortunately, I no longer have this in my possession and cannot try it. I rented it for free from my library, scanned my film, and returned it. I found another video on RUclips where the user ran 50 mm slides through it, but he edited out the menu selection. It was definitely strange. I guess I would recommend asking him how he did it. This is the video, and the point of interest is 3:25 ruclips.net/video/iCxjBJkJnTE/видео.html Let me know how it goes!
Outstanding instruction and funny! Thanks so much because this stuff is confusing to me. I've spent hours trying to decide which scanner to get. I need one that's super easy. Commendable you check and respond to your comments:)
I think they are unrelated and would be two different devices. I used to have a unit that could convert VHS to DVD, and that was 15 or 20 years ago before digital cameras were the norm, so I would suspect there are some very good options these days.
--- Slide thickness problem --- Hi there, I bought this Slide n Scan scanner after watching this video. I have problems with my parents' thicker slided films which dont fit in the mount of this product. Is there any way to get a seperate mount for this device that can fit bigger slides? Thanks in advance.
Sorry to hear that. I personally only used the 35 mm film. I watched other videos where people used slides. You can run them through the scanner without using the holders. You will just have to be more diligent making sure they’re lined up. (the holder centers it for you.) Otherwise, I would contact Kodak since that is their product. They may have a solution. Or return it if it’s a flawed product that does not meet your needs.
Your SD card must be 32gb or less. Some SD cards are not compatible and must be formatted first, then inserted into the scanner. Always insert the SD card first and then power on the scanner. An SD card icon should appear on your screen, indicating it is ready to receive information.
You show that you can pass negatives through to view as they pass but no comment on slides. Can you push sldes through, or do you have to insert individually into the holder? That would be very impractical when wanting to view a few hundred slides.
The slides are inserted one at a time, edited and scanned to your SD card. Once all your slides are digitized, you are able to view them on the device, your computer or a television. The unit makes a great scanner, but other devices may serve you better to simply view several slides.
So, do I still have to have the film developed first and then use the developed negatives on this? I.e. - I can't just take my roll out of my camera and begin to view the pics?
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial okay, so the film should look basically the same as it did before I shot with it, correct? I did a bunch of random test photos, and then checked the film afterwards; not worried about these coming out super well or not. Just bought the camera and testing it
@@35jdub The used film will be self contained in a cartridge so it is not exposed to light. The film needs to be removed in a dark room (red light) and developed with chemicals. Otherwise, if it is exposed to light, it will ruin the pictures. Back in the day, you could bring the film to pretty much any department, grocery, or drug store, and they had a photo department and developed it for you. Now that everything is digital, I do not know where to bring it. The last time I had film developed was probably 20 years ago. Everything has been digital since then.
I know why your negative looks like a negative!!! I did that also on my first one! it is because you put your negative in the machine and then you clicked OK, and it was probably set on the 50MM slide. Make sure you move the arrow over to choose Color Negative or B and W negative. You need to make all the selections first of what your trying to do, then hit okay after you see your color negative correctly on your screen hit ok.
My husband is doing this with negatives. However, every time he uploads to the computer, it sends EVERYTHING he's scanned. Then he goes through his 'recent's and deletes all the ones he's already filed. What is he missing??????
If your not going to use it can i please buy it from you...those are like super expensive in south African rands plus im only a student😭😭 I got myself a point and shoot camera as a birthday gift for me😞lol cause no one remembered my birthday..
Back in the day (20 years ago) you could just drop the disposable camera off at pretty much any store (Walmart, target, Right Aid, Walgreens, …) and they would develop the film and print the pictures and it would be ready to pick up in a couple days. I have no idea if that is still the case. I personally have not used film in the last 20 years. Everything went digital.
I agree. I don’t think much film has been used in the last 20 years with digital cameras and cell phones. Probably limited to professional photographers and people who have old boxes of slides and negatives sitting in the storage room. I rented it from my local library for free, and it was fun to check out since I had a bunch of old negatives.
Agreed! I just purchased a used one on eBay to scan a few hundred slides. I used 35mm cameras a lot in the early 1980s, so I haven’t viewed many of these since my 42 year old daughter was a tiny baby! So far, it’s doing a wonderful job and the process is beyond easy.
@@bigdennis21good to learn you are enjoying your transfers. Question: did the device accept different thicknesses e.g plastic mount and cardboard slides?
Thanks for pointing this out so others won’t mistake this mistake! In hindsight, that is an obvious mistake to avoid. Unfortunately, that didn’t cross my mind when making the video. I’ve never used the negatives for anything before. After getting film development at a store, I sometimes put the negatives in a bag. It’s a miracle that I even have them. The last time I did that was 20 years ago. Since then, everything has been digital.
I have taken note. In retrospect, I should have ran every film type through it to be thorough. I will keep that in mind for future videos. In the menu, select slides instead of film. And use the slide adapter instead of the film adapter.
dude!! you're getting your fingerprints all over those negatives. wtf? any film photographer knows that you ONLY handle negatives by the edges. c',mon!!
My daughter bought this for me and I just started using it and it is very easy and I do love it!

Just so happy to be able to put these negatives to digital will be fantastic. I am going to save them all in the default settings and then adjust them in Photoshop elements to make them even better.
Nice! The correct adapter should keep it straight (up and down). You should only need to adjust it left and right to get it centered.
So glad you were able to scan your old negatives so easily with our Slide n Scan😊 You explained how to use it SO well!!
I'm glad you approve! Thanks!

why is the hole for the 110 film so tiny? The negatives are 4x4 inches
Hello, can you fit slides with plastic covers into the film holder? In the Kodak Scanza, it's impossible, they're too big. Thanks for your help.
Same question. Looks like this Kodak product is only going to accept Kodak processed ( cardboard mount) Slides??

Thanks for your servic!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Don't put your fingers on the middle of the negative!!!
Thanks for pointing that out!!!
can I do download across tv?
The pictures are saved on the memory card. You can display them on your TV from the memory card.
So, do I still have to have the film developed first and then use the developed negatives on this? I.e. - I can't just take my roll out of my camera and begin to view the pics?
It is for developed negatives. Do not take the film out of your camera. Exposing the film will ruin it.

Hmmm…. That’s definitely not right. Just to make sure, are you using developed film? The film needs to be developed first.

How to change file number IMAG0091 to start for example to IMAG0123
Once images have been uploaded to your computer, right click your mouse and rename the files anything you choose.
My husband is doing this with negatives. However, every time he uploads to the computer, it sends EVERYTHING he's scanned. Then he goes through his 'recent's and deletes all the ones he's already filed. What is he missing??????
Remove the SD card from the scanner, insert it into your computer, navigate to the SD drive and pick only the scans you want to save individually.
64gb will work if u format into and fat32
Thanks, great video.
Glad it was helpful!
135mm, 110mm. Such a Pro.
Do you have to unroll your film from the cartridge

Do not remove the film from the cartridge. Exposing it to light will ruin it.

Always use gloves when handling film.
