thank you, ronald. my situation thus far is, most of the slides seem properly exposed, at least on visual inspection. for these well-exposed images then, i wonder if allowing auto-exposure to tinker with them might actually be detrimental?

Minolta's (defunct) scanner division recommended disabling auto-exposure with their scanners, at least for slides.

 

I've gone with that, on all but my moderately to grossly underexposed slides, where I'll manually raise the exposure level. I found auto-exposure was consistantly blowing out highlights, not a lot, but too much. You could opt to use auto-exposure with an override, reducing it's "judgement" by some factor, but I found that still too unpredictable. I just went for their recomendation: manual exposure, everything zero'd. Keeps your scan times constant, too.
