In custom functions:
C-01 EV-Steps [StEP]
This function is used to set the size of increments concerning
the shutter speed, f-number and exposure compensation value.
The 2 setting “StEP 1.0” will provide the full EV steps; this is
especially recommended for doing HDR photography made as
Bracketing photography.
0: StEP 0.3 (1/3 f-STOP: impostazione default)
1: StEP 0.5 (1/2 f-STOP)
2: StEP 1.0 (1 f-STOP)
C-02 Lens change [IrIS]
This function is used to control the initial aperture after changing
the lens. The default setting is “0” this will keep the aperture as
close to the value of the previous lens as possible.
0: Previous f-number
1: Aperture open
2: Minimum aperture setting
C-03 Sleeptimer [HOLd]
This function is used to set the time for sleep mode to be established after the camera’s power is turned on. The default setting
is 15 seconds. Which is the shortest setting; this will preserve as
much energy as possible.
Setting 3 “Disabled” will keep the camera fully powered constantly; this will drain the batteries faster, but might be useful for
industrial photography when the camera is working on a power
source different than batteries.
For external Phase One digital camera AC adapter consult you
dealer for item# 51509 power supply for Phase One 645 AF/DF
0: HOLd 15 seconds

digitally in Capture One. This will cover more than enough to do
true HDR photography

auxiliary light from firing.
0: On [On]
