This has nothing to do with the light source. Eek! I just opened it up and had a look. This would be worst with the last couple of frames on a strip. I didn't realise this about the film strip feeder. Rob

Is it normal for the LS-30 to automatically eject the film from the scanner after a certain amount of time of inactivity? Yes (well, mine does anyway) Peter Marquis-Kyle

RE: filmscanners: LS-30 Auto Ejecting Film Strips

Another reason is that if left in long enough, the colors will degrade, if it's color film that is. I wish scanners would just shut the lamp off after some time that you could pre-set in the software, and/or I could turn it on/off in the software. The SS4k left the lamp on continuously. I know why some do it, because the lamp has warm-up time...

This reminds me of a question I had recently based on curling comments - I thought the "Coolscan" used LED's which didn't produce much heat? Admittedly even a little heat builds up, but I would think the Nikons are less prone to film heat-up than other scanners. Tim

Admittedly it's not the same as putting the film in front of a projector bulb, but the scanner motors and power supply certainly heat up inside the case. How the Nikons compare with other scanners I don't know - in any case it's a safety feature to avoid accidentally leaving a film strip in the scanner.
