This mode enables you to scan and record, or make copies of the originals with a sharper or softer contrast. To reproduce text or lines with a sharper contrast, use [High] as the setting. To scan/copy originals containing printed photographs or other halftones with a softer contrast, use [Low] as the setting.
If you make copies, or scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed photograph, using the Photo Mode, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. However, you can lessen this moiré effect by using [Low] as the setting to produce a clearer copy (image).
