How to Copy 35mm Slide Photos on a Digital Camera
Before digital presentation software, the only way you had available to display photographs for other individuals was via a slide projector. In order to convert the 35mm slides there are several options available, including the use of a digital slide projector or processed conversion, but all are rather expensive. Instead, you can copy the images directly into a digital camera in only a few minutes time.

The only problem with this technique of using a projector to copy slides is the projector lamp does not light the image evenly across the film area to be copied; such that, the results will be an over-lighted center with darkened edges. Also, since the light from the projector is of one brightness there is no opportunity to correct for over and under exposure by controling the intensity of the light sourc backlighting the slide for projection before digital camera capture. Another alternative device is ShotCopy where no projector is required and the light intensity can be adjusted easily.
