The brightness control - at least with the Nikon scanners - is the same as the analogue gain control in Nikonscan. It changes the integration time. The only other controls which changethe way the scanner scans other than the number of passes (AFAIK) are those related to the scan area. > My main reason for asking is if you have an underexposed slide > and want to try to obtain more detail from shadow areas is the > only concrete way to improve this by setting for multiple > passes (16 for example).

Be aware you must rescan using Scan/Device not Scan/Memory to see the effect of changes in the Brightness control.
