Hi swami7774,

 

The PIXMA MG7520 does not have the ability to scan slides or film.

 

To scan that type of media, a light must shine through the film/slide so the scanning element can detect the image.  The PIXMA MG7520 does not have this feature.

Ugh. Thanks. I was afraid of that. 

If I want to scan slides I have to buy a new Canon, correct?
