1. A control method for a scanner device which has reading means for reading an original image while performing relative scanning of said original image, said control method comprising the following steps:
- a first scanning step for reading a portion of the original image in order to detect an attribution of said original image;
a second scanning step for reading the original image under a condition corresponding to the detected attribution and setting an exposure adjusting condition for reading the original image; and
a third scanning step for reading the original image under the exposure adjusting condition set in the second scanning step.

Abstract
In order to accurately perform correction of focal distance and color of film before pre-scanning, the image at the generally center area of the first frame of film is read in a first pre-scan, auto-focusing and judgment between negative/positive is made, exposure parameters are set in a second pre-scanning, and the image is read in main scanning.
