1.4 Screen Calibration

Having a properly calibrated monitor is a critical factor when viewing images. Ensure that digital viewing conditions are as accurate as possible. A quality monitor and calibration tool should help guarantee that displayed images on a screen are precisely rendered. Once a monitor has been calibrated, the color and brightness controls should be locked to prevent inadvertent changes.

Hardware-based monitor calibrators are now available at reasonable prices. The process is simple, quick and enables images to be viewed with condence. Many higher level monitors have internal calibrating software that works with professional calibration devices for ultimate accuracy.

All the elements of the Value Added kit are available to buy as separate spare parts. Please consult your local dealer about the dierent Phase One or third party solutions if extra equipment is needed.

Securing the operational time of a camera and digital back solution is a critical concern for professional photographers. To be as safe as possible, consult your dealer to get information on the best solution. Most uptime solutions provided by Phase One can be purchased after acquiring the back or camera.

The 645DF+ camera and SK LS lenses have a warranty of 1 year or 100,000 shutter actuations, whichever comes rst. Phase One AF/MF lenses have a warranty of 1 year if purchased as part of the Classic kit or 3 years with the Value Added kit option. Please refer to the Warranty Brochure, which is shipped with the Camera System.

Warning!

• Only use the Charger to charge the specied batteries

• Do not allow charger to get wet or get exposed to moisture

• Keep the Charger out of reach of children

• Once charging is completed, unplug the charger from power source

• Only use the original mains adaptor 12V DC or car lead

• Never apply excessive force when connecting or disconnecting a battery or contact plate.

• Keep all contacts clean.

• Do not force down any of the contacts.

• Do not short-circuit the contacts.

• Never store the battery connected to the charger for an extensive period of time.

• Do not expose to excessive heat or naked ame.

• Do not dismantle or carry out any alteration to the product

• Do not attempt to eat or swallow the battery

2.4 Charging the Batteries for the IQ2 Digital Back

Charge the batteries as soon as the camera system has been unpacked.

The Value Added roller case is delivered with two 7.2 volt Lithium-Ion batteries and a duo-charger.

Although only one battery can be used in the IQ back at a time, it is recommended to charge both batteries fully before you start.

Always keep a battery in the IQ back even when shooting tethered to a computer via a FireWire or USB connection. (Go to page 84 for more details about charging the battery while tethered to a computer).

The battery charger can adapt to voltages within a range of 110 to 250 volts.

It comes with an international set of power adaptors (located in the suitcase utility compartment). Please select the appropriate one that ts your outlet and slide it in from the top to mount it in place securely.

Connect the unit to the outlet and charge the batteries (approximately

2.5 to 3 hours).

After the rst initial charge, the batteries can be charged one at a time.

Purchasing Extra Batteries

The Phase One IQ back comes with two batteries. Phase One recommends the Canon BP 915 (with more than 2500 mAh) if you need to purchase extra batteries.

Some third party batteries may not t into the digital back’s battery compartment due to dierences in the tolerances. Do not try to force a battery into the compartment. When pressing the battery release button it should slide in without being hindered.

2.5 Camera Batteries

M.UP

Set the shutter release mode selector lever to L (to turn the power o). Use six AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries. NiCd or NiMH batteries should only be used in the camera body if CF04 is set on rechargeable.

1. Lift the battery case lock lever, turn it counter clockwise and pull out the battery holder.

2. Insert fresh AA batteries with the + and - ends as shown in the illustration.

3. Return the battery holder to its case and lock it by turning the lever clockwise. Make sure it is rmly attached. N.B. Ensure that the batteries are placed with proper polarity.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

The Phase One Rechargeable Li-Ion battery Kit for 645DF+ is included with the Phase One 645DF+ camera body as standard. (Part #70513) Please go to page 112 for more information about setting battery type in custom function 4. The Value Added kit includes 1 battery + 1 charger. N.B. The rechargeable Li-Ion battery can be used instead of AA batteries with the Phase One 645DF. The uptime of one fully charged Li-ion battery is up to 3 times longer than using standard Alkaline batteries.

2 batteries + 1 charger. The Classic kit includes

2.6 Sleep Mode

The camera’s power is switched on when the shutter release mode selector is set to S, C or M.UP. In order to prevent the camera’s batteries from discharging, sleep mode is automatically entered if no operations are performed for a specic period of time while the power is ON (with exposure metering status maintained).

In sleep mode, operating the shutter button or a function setting button restores power ON status.

In sleep mode, the external LCD screens are not active, only the marks shown in the gure are displayed. (These marks appear in program AE mode.)

1. Battery life of the originally supplied batteries is dependent on storage conditions.

2. Blots and ngerprints on battery terminals may cause loose connection and corrosion. Wipe them o before loading the batteries.

3. It is advised to carry spare batteries in remote or foreign locations.

4. Battery performance decreases in low temperatures. Keep them warm when in cold climates or locations. External battery case PE401 is available as an optional accessory.

The batteries are suciently charged.

There is very little power remaining. Camera will not operate. Set the shutter release mode selector lever to “L” (to turn the power o) and replace the batteries with new ones.

There is little power remaining. Have new batteries on hand. Camera will still operate.

When the batteries are emptied for power, “batt” ashes on the main LCD and the

viewnder’s LCD when the shutter release button is pressed.

Checking the Battery Power

Set the Drive dial lever to S (to turn the power on).

Check the battery condition in the lower left corner of the top LCD screen.

Always use six new batteries of the same type when replacing batteries. Do not mix dierent types of batteries or use old batteries with new ones. The camera will not function without a power source.

Never throw out batteries. When a battery does not work, please dispose of it at an appropriate recycling center.

16 17

NOTE: For the purpose of the descriptions and explanations provided in these instructions, it is assumed that the camera’s power is on.

5. Store the batteries in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.

6. Remove the batteries from the camera body when they will not be used for a long time.

7. Replace the batteries with new ones as soon as they are exhausted. Liquid leakage from the battery may damage the camera.

8. Read the warnings on the batteries for their handling.

body cap or the lens itself counter clockwise and lift out.

Leaf shutter lenses are equipped with an internal shutter. Leaf shutter lenses are capable of high shutter speeds up to 1/1600 on IQ Series backs with ash synchronization, which is particularly useful for ll-in ash photography in bright ambient shooting conditions.

When a leaf shutter lens is attached and the leafshutter is used and the letters LS will appear in the main LCD screen.

2. Align the white alignment dot of the lens [B] (on the shiny ange) with the camera’s white dot [C]. Mount the lens and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.

2.8 Adjusting the Strap

Main LCD Backlight Button

Self Timer Button

Interval Button

Hot Shoe

Exposure Mode Dial

NOTE:

When transporting the system, it is important to make sure that the mirror is locked up in the shipping position.

To ship the system, rst detach the digital back, and then remove the battery from the camera body. Now replace the digital back.

The mirror will stay locked-up in the shipping position, until the battery is reattached.

When attaching the IQ back to the camera body the shutter will close and the mirror comes back down.

First remove the cover on the IQ back and 645DF+ camera. Next, slide forward the lever [1] and push in button [2], and ensure that the bottom part of the IQ back is placed correctly in the lower locking mechanism on the back of the camera body before the upper locking mechanism is pressed together. Failure to do this can cause an error with the camera body where the shutter will continuously open and close. If this occurs, remove the IQ back. Make sure the camera body is powered and press button [2] while mounting the digital back.

Please be aware that the shutter should be in the correct starting position (shutter open). If this is not the case, attach and remove the IQ back again to make sure that the camera body gets in the correct starting position.

Remove the IQ back by sliding forward the lever [1], pushing in button [2], and by gently pulling away the top of the back rst. Be careful with the contacts and protective glass on the back. Your IQ back should always be protected by its plate when it is not attached to the camera.

M.UP

3.3 Getting started: Setting the Shutter Release, Focus, Exposure and Metering modes

1. Set the Shutter Release mode selector lever to S (single-frame advance mode).

There are two shutter release (drive) modes: S (single frame advance

mode) and C (continuous advance mode). When set to L the power is turned o.

3.1 Setting ISO

The default ISO setting is 50 for all IQ Series models. Remember that the higher the ISO setting, the higher the degree of image noise. The camera system together with Capture One software deliver a powerful noise reduction performance although it is possible to still see some noise at the higher sensitivity settings.

Push the upper right button or tap ISO on the screen on the IQ back’s Home Screen. You will be presented with the back’s ISO spectrum. Scroll up and down and tap the screen to select the desired setting. A green check mark will appear next to your chosen setting.

There are three Focus modes: S (single focus mode), C (Continuous focus mode) and M (Manual focus mode). See page 33 for more

information.

3. Set the exposure mode dial to P (Program auto exposure).

There are four exposure modes: P (Program Auto Exposure) Av (Aperture Priority AE) Tv (Shutter Priority AE) M (Manual)

Find out more on White Balance operation on page 62.

N.B. Av stands for Aperture Value but is referred to as Aperture Priority AE. Tv stands for Time Value but is referred to as Shutter Priority AE.

28 29

Page 16

P: Program AE - The aperture and shutter speed are determined

automatically for the optimum exposure, according to the ambient light conditions. This auto mode is best suited for general photography or for novice photographers, as it leaves the user free to concentrate on framing and capturing the subject.

3.4 Measuring Light – Exposure Metering

1. Press button [A] to adjust the exposure metering mode. There are three dierent exposure metering mode options that are displayed sequentially when either the front or rear dial is turned. Select an appropriate exposure mode. Your chosen exposure metering mode is displayed as an icon on the camera’s LCD screen.

Av: Aperture priority AE - Set the desired aperture and the camera selects the correct shutter speed. Use this mode to control depth of eld.

Tv: Shutter priority AE - Set the desired shutter speed and the camera

2. Press the SET button [B] or exposure metering mode button [A] to enter the setting.

selects the correct aperture. Use this mode to stop motion.

M: Manual mode - Set this mode when you want to use special combinations of the aperture and shutter speed.

4. Exposure metering mode is automatically set to average/spot exposure metering before exposure metering is performed.

There are three exposure metering modes: In the A mode the average brightness in the entire frame is measured with emphasis on the center of the frame. The brightness at a specic spot in the center of the frame is metered in the S mode. The A-S mode automatically switches between these two modes depending on the contrasts in the picture.

NOTE:

When a polarizing lter is used, ensure that a circular polarizing lter (C-PL) is used. The correct exposure cannot be obtained with a

normal (linear) polarizing lter (PL).

Average/spot auto exposure metering

Center-weighted average/spot exposure metering

Center spot exposure metering

Exposure metering is performed after automatically selecting average/spot exposure metering.• Depending on the subject conditions, center-weighted average/spot exposure metering is selected automatically, and the correct exposure is measured.

• Spot exposure metering is automatically selected when the brightness of the spot exposure metering range becomes darker than the brightness of the entire screen.

• If there is very little dierence between the spot exposure metering value and center-weighted average exposure metering value, the correct exposure level is obtained as the intermediate value.

The average brightness of the entire screen is measured, emphasizing the center of the screen.

The brightness of an area equivalent to 7.6% at screen center is measured, and the exposure is determined. The circle at screen center serves as a general guideline. This mode is suited to measuring subjects with strong contrasts or measuring only screen portions.

Exposure Warnings

Users are warned when shooting subjects that are too bright or too dark with an inappropriate exposure setting. At such times, when the correct exposure cannot be obtained, users will be alerted by the numeric exposure display that will ash on the external LCD or on the display inside the viewnder.

Warnings that the exposure is outside the metering range

• Program AE (P) The shutter speed and f-number blink.

3.5 Autofocus Modes

To use the Auto Focus function, both the camera body and the lens have to be set to their respective Auto Focus modes. Auto Focus does not function when either the camera body or the lens are set to manual focus.

To activate Auto Focus (AF), rst select AF on the focusing selector ring on the lens. Next, adjust the Focus Mode Selector Lever to either S (single) or C (continuous) Auto focusing on the camera. The Focus selection ring on the lens can help you to rapidly switch between AF and M, without having to change your grip of the camera.

Single Autofocus Mode (S)

This mode uses the focus-priority mechanism. The shutter can be released when the focus mark • in the viewnder is illuminated. This mode is suited for still subjects. Focus is locked when the focus mark • is illuminated in the viewnder’s LCD.

The shutter cannot be released if the subject is not in focus (if the focus mark

• does not illuminate). To take another photo with a dierent composition, take your nger o the shutter release button then re-press the shutter release button again.

Normal Half-press Release position

Full-press

The shutter release button has a two-step action. When pressed lightly it stops at a certain point. In this manual, this position is called the “halfpress” position. When you “half-press” this button, the camera functions are activated. When the shutter button is pressed further down, the shutter is released. This position is called the “full-press” position.

1. Aim the camera so that the subject is within the focus frame.

2. Half-press the shutter release button, and focus will be adjusted automatically in AF mode. As default, you can now re-compose your image without losing the original focus setting, by moving the camera and keeping the shutter release button half-pressed. When the focus mark lights up, the subject is in focus.

3. When the focus mark lights up, press the shutter release button further down to release the shutter. (The focus mark is an illuminated dot (indicated as this • symbol) at the bottom of the viewfinder display. See the focus the illustration circled in blue).

Out of Focus Marks 

When the picture is not focused the shutter cannot be released when in single focus mode. Either press the shutter release button again to adjust the focus or move the camera to change the position of the focus frame. Lenses without the focus mode selector ring will automatically be set to AF if the camera is set to Auto Focus. Do not touch the focus ring as you may cause internal damage to the camera Auto Focus motor.

Continuous Autofocus Mode (C)

In this mode shutter release has priority to focusing. The shutter can be released regardless of whether the focus mark • in the viewnder’s display is illuminated. Focus is adjusted continuously while the shutter release button is half-pressed. This mode is suited for moving subjects. Focus is not locked even if the focus mark is lit. The shutter can be released even if the focus mark is not lit.

Lenses with the Focus Mode Selector

The focus modes can be switched between automatic and manual with the selector on the lens when the focus mode selector lever on the camera body is set to S or C.

3.6 Using Focus Lock and Infrared Focusing

Use the focus lock when the your intended focus point is not within the focus frame. In such cases where a subject is not located in the center of a frame, use the focus lock function to lock the focus before releasing the shutter.

1. Set the focus mode selector lever to S or C. Put the subject in the focus frame and half press the shutter release button.

32 33

Page 18

Lenses with the Focus Mode Selector Continued

2. Lock the Focus. When the focus mark • in the viewnder LCD is lit, press the AF lock button on the front of the camera to lock the focus.

3. Adjust the Composition. With the shutter release button half-pressed, slide the camera to achieve the desired composition, and release the shutter.

When Auto Focus Cannot Find Focus

The auto focus function requires contrast in the subject. Auto focusing may fail to achieve focus with certain subjects described below. In such cases, either switch to the manual focus mode (and focus manually) or focus on a more contrast appropriate object at the same distance as the object you want to photograph, lock the focus using the focus lock button on the front of the camera body, then take a picture.

• Low-contrast subject (blue skies, white walls and other objects)

• Two or more objects overlapping at dierent distances within the focus frame (animals in cages, etc.)

NOTE:

Eective range of the AF assist infrared light is limited. It does not reach distant subjects. - Range: 9m/29.5 ft. (using 80 mm f/2.8 lens)

Use of a lens hood or a bellows lens hood (sold as an optional accessory) may interfere with the assist light. It is advisable to set the focus before mounting the hood.

When the focus mode is set at S (single focus mode) and the focus mark • is lit, hold the shutter release button halfway down to lock the focus.

AF Assist Infrared Light

Autofocus can fail when a subject is dark or very low-key. On these occasions, a red lamp may be activated on the front of the camera when the shutter release button is half-pressed to assist the camera’s auto focus function. The AF assist infrared light is emitted only when the focus mode is set to S (single focus mode).

• Subjects with continuous repeated patterns (building exteriors, blinds, etc.)

• Extremely backlit reective subjects (car bodies, water surfaces, etc.)

• Or when the subject is far smaller than the focus frame

The AF assist infrared light can be disabled.

3.10 Flash Photography

The Phase One 645DF+ is equipped with a horizontal focal-plane metal shutter and it is also compatible with leaf shutter lenses.

The focal-plane shutter provides higher shutter speeds than that of leaf (central) shutter lenses. Focal-plane shutters allow you to shoot fast enough to freeze moving subject matter. Leaf shutter lenses will allow faster shutter synchronization to ash, making it ideal to freeze subject movement when using strobe lighting.

The focal-plane shutter method allows for shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 sec. When shooting at higher speeds e.g. 1/500 sec. the two shutter blades are moving in parallel creating a small slit allowing a small fraction of light to reach the sensor area of the digital back. When using this type of shutter it is not possible to achieve ash synchronization greater than 1/125 sec.

A leaf shutter will make it possible to achieve faster shutter and ash sync speeds. An IQ Series back can achieve a maximum shutter speed of 1/1600 second. Do not use leaf shutter speeds above 1/1600 sec.

1. A grip type ashgun or a strobe (with electric contacts other than X contact) can be operated with the Phase One 645DF+ by connecting a sync cord into the camera’s sync terminal. (See the note in the bottom left corner of the page about ash units designed exclusively for other camera makes.)

NOTE:

This camera’s synchro contact is an X contact.

Using ashes designed exclusively for other camera manufacturers in the hot shoe may damage the camera’s internal mechanisms. In this situation, use an o-camera ash bracket and connect a sync cord to the camera’s synchro terminal.

When using ashes with a ash duration of 1/500 sec. or longer, set the shutter speed to 1/30 sec. or less.

2. Turn the exposure mode setting dial to “X” (1/125 sec.) or M (manual). When M (manual) is selected, turn the front dial and set the shutter speed to 1/125 sec. or slower.

3. Turn the rear dial to set the aperture, and then press the shutter button to take a picture.

In addition to its standard ash sync system, the Phase One 645DF+ features TTL (through the lens), o the lm (OTF) and electronic ash exposure metering.

The lm sensitivity data, exposure compensation data and aperture data are sent from the camera to the ash.

Type of ash SCA3952 Module Converter

Phase One 645DF+ features TTL (Through The Lens), OTF (O The Film) and electronic ash exposure metering. A ash sensor located inside the camera body reads the ash light reected o the surface of the CCD at the moment of exposure. The sensor is connected via the Phase One 645DF+’s dedicated hot-shoe to a shoe or handle-mount style Metz ash unit via the Metz SCA 3952 TTL Adapter. Maximum ash speed is 1/125 sec. when the focal plane shutter is used, making daytime synchronization possible.

The ISO of the ash is automatically set through the TTL connection from the camera’s lm magazine; any adjustment to this is instantly recognized after the setting is locked and the shutter release is halfpressed.

To utilize the TTL ash feature with all TTL-operable Metz ash units, a Metz SCA 3952 module is required. Please see the chart for capability and/or additional adapters that may be necessary.

The resulting ash exposure automation determines correct ash exposure and automatically adjusts the output of the ash. It also automatically corrects for exposure compensation normally required when using lters, close-up bellows or extension tubes.

TTL ash

With TTL ash photography, the reection of the ash is metered and the intensity of the ash is adjusted automatically, which can mean TTL ash photography may not be suitable for all shooting conditions. In the cases described below, we recommend that you use a ashmeter to check the intensity of the ash or to use a manual ash setting.

Example:

1. When the size of the subject you want to light with the ash is relatively small within the picture

2. When the background behind the subject is extremely bright or when there is a strongly reective object in the background

3. When the background behind the subject is extremely dark (outdoors at night, etc.)

4. For ash photography with a narrow lm latitude

4.0 Introduction to the IQ2 Series Digital Back

System Overview

The Phase One IQ2 Series Digital Back is designed to t on the Phase One

645DF+ as well as several other brands or models of medium format cameras.

The IQ2 Series include four dierent models; the IQ280, IQ260 and the IQ260

Achromatic, and the new IQ250. The backs incorporate 80 and 60-megapixel

CCD sensors for the IQ280 and two IQ260 models repectively, and a newly

developed 50-megapixel CMOS sensor for the IQ250. They also feature USB3.0

and FireWire 800 connections facilitating the fastest possible tethered image

transfers speeds.

All four models have a 3.2 inch touch display that features 1.15 megapixel

resolution. The wide format display allows for a full 4:3 aspect ratio VGA

resolution image next to histogram, highlight warning, focus mask, File Info,

and touch controls. This touch screen display is complemented by Phase

One’s intuitive 4-button navigation.

Phase One’s patent-pending Sensor+ technology, built into the Phase One

IQ2 Series models, supports a variety of shooting conditions. Images can

be captured at full resolution or, using Sensor+ mode, switch instantly to

capture images with 20 megapixels* resolution at 4 times higher sensitivity,

up to ISO 3200. Please note the IQ250 does not adopt Sensor+ technology.

The following section deals with generic features that are available in all four

IQ2 Series digital back models.

* The IQ280 produces 20 megapixel resolution and both the IQ260 and IQ260 Achro-

matic produce 15 megapixel resolution when the Sensor + mode is activated.

Warning: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in

3. Insert a CompactFlash card into the IQ2 Back.

4. Switch on the power to the back and camera and select a drive mode.

power button located below the IQ2 back display.

ISO Settings

The IQ280 back has an ISO spectrum from ISO 35-800. The IQ260 has a 50-

800 spectrum and the Achromatic back has a ISO spectrum from 200-3200.

The default ISO setting is 50 for IQ280 and IQ260 models and 200 for the

8. Set the ISO and White Balance. (See page 28).

9. After shooting, transfer images into Capture One software from the CF card using a card reader.

10. Editing images in Capture One and output as required.

Power Management and Shutter Latency

The IQ2 back’s CCD needs to be constantly cleared of data from the

previous capture before the next exposure can be taken. This process

requires some power consumption. The default setting is Normal

Latency, which should remain unchanged under all ‘normal’ shooting

scenarios. Only change the setting to Zero Latency if you work on

technical cameras, large format cameras or certain manual cameras in

special situations.

Double Exposure Protection

It is not possible to accidentally double expose an image by capturing

one shot quickly after another when an IQ2 back is used on cameras

such as the Phase One 645DF+/DF/AF, Mamiya 645DF/AFDIII,

Hasselblad 555 ELD (DIG mode), Hasselblad H or Contax 645. The

electronic communication with the body ensures that the IQ2 back is

ready before allowing release of the next shot. However, users of other

camera bodies that do not use the electronic interface from the IQ2 will

have to wait for the ready beep signal before releasing the next shot.

50 51

Page 27

4.3 Indicator Lights

IQ2 Series digital backs feature two main red and green LEDs located below the bottom left corner of the screen. When the IQ2 back is activated, the green and red LEDs will ash shortly and a beep will sound to indicate that it is ready to capture. In general, if the LEDs are not illuminated the camera is ready.

A red indicates that the IQ2 back is writing to the storage media, and therefore the buer has not been emptied. When capturing an image the green LED will blink rapidly to indicate that the IQ2 back is busy exposing the CCD or moving data from the CCD. A continuous green light indicates that the backlight of the display is dimmed but the camera is still ready to shoot. The IQ2 back also has an orange light to indicate that the battery is charging when the back is connected to a computer via a FireWire or USB connection. (Go to page 90 for more details about charging the battery whilst tethered to a computer).

Additional Red LED

4.5 Tethered and Untethered Operations

Untethered: An IQ2 Series back can be operated as a fully portable battery

powered unit. Image les are shot and transferred to a CompactFlash card

which is inserted in the CF-card slot on the left side of the camera back.

Tethered: Remember to always keep a battery in the IQ2 back even when

shooting tethered to a computer via a FireWire or USB3.0 connection. When

operating tethered, image les can be shot to a CompactFlash card or trans-

ferred directly to the assigned capture folder in the Capture One application

on the computer hard disk. (Go to page 90 for more details about charging

the battery whilst tethered to a computer).

Driver Set-up

Find out more on Installation and Activation of software on page 9 and

10 of this User Guide. There is no specic program set-up. Check the

Capture One User Guide for recommended hardware. Eventual

rmware announcements will be available on our website, and in our

newsletters.

Connecting

The maximum length of a compatible FireWire cable is 4.5 meters.

Longer cables might require a third party power solution or a FireWire

hub. IQ2 Series backs match the FireWire 800 standard.

4.4 Indicators

Long exposure time indicator: An exposure time indicator will appear on the IQ2 screen if the camera is set to expose for more than 2 seconds. The indicator will count the seconds while the shutter is open. This indicator is useful for timing long bulb exposures.

Long exposure black reference: In order to capture noise free long exposures Phase One digital backs needs to capture a black reference after each capture. This black reference requires the same amount of time as the exposure itself. A night symbol and a counter counting down the time left for black reference capture to complete will appear at the bottom of the screen while the

black reference is being captured. This function is performed automatically.

52 53

Plug the FireWire 800 cable into the IQ2 unit and into back of your

Mac or Windows PC. (It is not recommended to use a FireWire port

on the front of a computer as it can be less stable). Capture One will

automatically recognize the IQ2 back and settings shared. (Read more

on shooting tethered in the Capture One software manual).

N.B: IQ2 backs are compabile with FireWire 400. Please order a Phase

One FireWire 800 to 400 cable 4.5M. Part No: 50300164

Tethered Operations Continued

The display on an IQ2 Series back can be either be turned o while shooting tethered or set to display the images while they are shot, just as if shooting untethered. It is also possible to enlarge a section of an image on the IQ2 screen to help check focus of the current and upcoming captures.

An IQ2 back will default to its untethered mode when the FireWire 800 or USB3.0 cable is removed in its Auto Storage setting. Captured image les will be stored on a CompactFlash card, and the unit’s battery will provide power. (The IQ2 back can be made to shoot to either CompactFlash or to to a computer, via a FireWire 800 cable. Find out more on the Storage Mode on page 91).

Online Support For more information on shooting tethered with Capture One please consult the online user guide available in the Capture One Help menu or go direct to http://help.phaseone.com/en/CO7/Capture/Tethered-Shooting.aspx

4.6 CompactFlash Card Usage

It is important to follow a few simple guidelines to help avoid loss

of data when working with CompactFlash cards, card readers and

digital cameras. Phase One recommends that you test-drive all new

CompactFlash cards including the one that comes with your IQ back.

By performing an initial test to verify that the capture les are stored

properly on the card and can be accessed on a computer you will

avoid unpleasant surprises on location or when you return from a job.

CompactFlash cards are manufactured by other suppliers and Phase

One cannot guarantee that the cards are not defective.

Inserting and Ejecting on the IQ2 Back

The CompactFlash card is inserted in the hidden slot located under the

cover on the left hand side of the IQ back.

Insert the CompactFlash card with the brand label facing the display

end of the digital back as shown in the image.

The cover can be closed when the CompactFlash card is fully inserted.

To eject the card push the small button above the card once, and an

ejecting pin will come out. Pushing this pin all the way back in will eject

the card.

Microdrives are not recommended for use with IQ backs.

54 55

Page 29

4.7 Secure Storage System (3S)

You can always be sure that your data is safe when working with memory cards in a Phase One IQ2 back. The Phase One Secure Storage System (3S) provides the industry’s safest memory card handling. The 3S technology automatically checks your card’s le structure every time it is inserted into the IQ2 back. If the disk check function nds any errors, it will prevent usage of the card until these are corrected or the card is formatted.

4.8 Formatting your Memory Card

Most CompactFlash cards are preformatted and ready for use in the

IQ backs. However, Phase One recommends that all cards should be

formatted in the IQ back to ensure their optimum performance.

Memory card formatting is done in either FAT 16 or FAT 32 depending

on card size. (IQ backs support CompactFlash cards formatted in both

FAT 16 and FAT 32).

How does 3S work?

A complete disk check for a valid le structure is performed as soon as a card is inserted into the IQ2 back.

Lower gigabyte capacity cards will load quicker than high capacity versions.

It is not recommended to turn o the Check Disk function. However, if you want to turn it o go to Menu>Check Disk.

Disk Check Summary

3S technology is a safe storage system integrated into the IQ2 back and is much more rugged than anything else seen in the industry. No other digital back or DSLR camera has this level of storage security.

Benets include:

• No need to format a card on a computer

• Damaged or incorrectly formatted cards will be detected immediately. IQ2 backs also have the ability to reformat and correct these cards.

• Ejecting a card while it is writing a session will not necessarily damage the le structure of the entire CompactFlash card. Only the image being written and the images in the buer can be damaged.

Using CompactFlash Cards in a Card Reader

A card will be mounted as a removable drive on a computer after it

has been inserted into the card reader and connected to a Mac or PC.

Windows and Mac OS X will have the required drivers for the CF card

reader. For information on how to import les to Phase One Capture

One, please consult the Capture One online user guide available under

Capture One Help in the Help Menu.

Warning!

Ejecting a card or removing the battery while the IQ2 back is still writing

(when the red LED is on) will cause images that are not written to the card

to be permanently lost or damaged. Do not bend or ex your CompactFlash

card. Please keep the card away from moisture, grit and sand. Use the sup-

plied CompactFlash card case as a storage container when not in use.

5.3 Touch Screen Operation

All four IQ2 models incorporate a 3.2 inch touch screen. The screen lets you zoom, pan and browse through images fast and it is easy to navigate between dierent menus and features. The IQ2 series backs are designed with invisible controls that are context sensitive and appear only when specic areas of the screen are touched.

One example of this is the unique instant zoom function, which allows you to zoom just by using one nger. Small histograms and highlight warnings can be enlarged to full screen view by simply touching them. Wide format display allows for a full 4:3 aspect ratio VGA resolution image next to histogram, highlight warning, focus mask, EXIF data and touch controls. It is possible to operate the IQ2 back using the touch screen display or the wellknown and intuitive 4-button navigation.

5.4 ISO

Push the top right button or tap ISO on the Home Screen. You will be

presented with the back’s ISO spectrum. Scroll up and down and tap

the screen to select the desired setting. A green check mark will appear

next to your chosen setting and you will automatically return to the

Home Screen. An ISO rating can also be selected from the Capture Tool

in Capture One Pro software (when shooting tethered).

The IQ280 back has an ISO spectrum from ISO 35-800. The IQ260 has a 50-

800 spectrum and the Achromatic back has a ISO range from 200-3200. The

IQ250 has a wider range, at ISO100-6400. The default sensitivity setting is ISO

50 for IQ280 and IQ260 models and ISO100 for the IQ250. The Achromatic

has a default of ISO200. Sensor+ technology, built into the Phase One IQ

Series models, expands the ISO range from 140 to 3200 at 20 megapixels

resolution for the IQ280. The IQ260 models have a Sensor+ ISO range from

200 to 3200 at 15 megapixels resolution.

Long Exposure Mode – IQ260

The Long Exposure Mode is a feature integrated into the IQ260, enbabling

noise free exposes of up to one hour. The default setting is On. When the

mode is O, the IQ260 will automatically display a dialogbox that suggests

using the Long Exposure Mode with exposures longer than than 10 seconds.

Long Exposure Mode is marked with an L after ISO in the Home Screen. The

Long Exposure Mode has an ISO range from 140 to 800 that can be extended

up to ISO3200 in Sensor + mode (IQ260 only).

Precautions on Long Exposure Shoots

1. Close the eyepiece shutter to block any light from entering the

viewnder.

2. When using extreme long exposure more than 5 to 10 minutes

outside in daylight, please take relevant precautions, e.g. avoid having

camera and digital back in direct sunlight.

3. Cover your entire camera with a Phase One lens wrap or similar light

proof material to eliminate stray light.

4. Remember that when you make a long exposure, the digital back will

make a black calibration after the capture of the same duration as the

exposure.

7.4 Power Management

The Power Management menu option has three criteria to help preserve battery life and help keep operating temperatures low when working in hot conditions.

Display O Time

Switch o the IQ’s display screen after 5 seconds, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes. The display can also be set to remain permanently on while the IQ is in operation with the Always On option.

Power-Up and Down from 645DF+

1. Turn on the 645DF+, and the IQ2 back will automatically power up.

2. Turn o power on the 645DF+ and the IQ2 back will power down after

10 seconds, unless it is interrupted manually on the screen or by pushing a

button.

This feature is not fail proof, and if operated quickly in sequence, the back

may not power on or o properly.

If you want to disable this feature - this can be acheived via the Power Man-

agement menu.

Battery Charging

The IQ back has an integrated battery charger to ensure that the battery is charged when shooting tethered via a USB or FireWire connection. This function can be switched o or set to Slow or Fast. The Slow and O settings should be chosen to preserve the battery life of a laptop when shooting tethered.

N.B. The battery will only charge via a USB or FireWire connection when the IQ back is switched on. Please note that most USB ports cannot provide enough power to charge the battery inside the back while working or while in standby, however battery life is prolonged during charging. This is a limitation with the current USB2.0 and USB3.0 technology. If the back is powered o while connected to USB, it will continue to charge. Battery charging is indicated by an orange LED on the rear of the back when it has been turned o.

Auto Power Down

Auto Power Down determines the amount of time before the IQ back shuts down, when there is no activity. Choose 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours or deactivate this function by selecting O.

Press the Power button to switch on and restart the IQ back after it has shut down.

7.5 Check Disk

A disk check is performed on every memory card that is inserted into the IQ2

back. Phase One recommends leaving this feature turned on, to maximize

data security on the memory cards. This feature can be deactivated in this

menu. Read more about the Phase One Secure Storage System (3S) on page

56 of this User Guide.

7.6 Storage Mode

This option allows users to congure how an IQ2 back should store the

captures created. Auto is the default storage setting and it will detect and

automatically store images les to a memory card if it has been inserted in

the IQ2 back.

If the IQ2 back is being used to shoot tethered, it will store image les directly

to the computer via the connected USB2.0 or FireWire 800 cable. The USB2.0

or FireWire will have priority if a card is in the IQ2 back at the same time as it

is connected by USB2.0 or FireWire to a computer.

N.B The IQ2 back can be made to shoot to either CompactFlash or to a

computer, via a FireWire 800 or USB2.0 or cable, by selecting CF, USB2.0 or

FireWire respectively. An Error Message will appear on the IQ2 screen if the

IQ2 back is not tethered to a computer and the IQ2 card slot is empty.

90 91

Page 47

7.7 File Format

An IQ back can save les in two dierent formats; IIQ Raw L and IIQ Raw S. IIQ stands for Intelligent Image Quality Raw. IIQ L is the default setting and it is a lossless capture format. IIQ S is a smaller le that is not a totally lossless format. The IIQ L is approximately 1/3 le size of a processed TIFF le. IIQ S is approximately 1/5 of a processed TIFF.

7.11 Auto Preview Mode

The Auto Preview option can be switched On or O. Select On to revert to a Play mode when shooting. Select O to remain on the same display.

RZ67ProIID: This mode is designed to optimize the IQ back’s operating performance with the Mamiya RZ67 Pro IID camera body.

7.9 Shutter Latency

The IQ CCD is put to sleep to reduce power consumption when it is not in use. The IQ needs to wake up before shooting and the timing of this wake

up signal is referred to as the Latency. Latency if the IQ is used with the Phase One 645DF+. Only change to Zero Latency if you work on technical, large format cameras or certain manual cameras in special situations. Find out more in the Appendix from page 141.

The recommended setting is Normal

7.12 Display

The Display menu option has four options: Brightness, Display O Time, Splash Screen and Background Image. (See below and page 88 for more de-

tails).

Brightness

7.13 Ready Beep

The IQ back will emit a small audio beep after every capture is taken. This Ready Beep signals that a capture has been completed, and that the IQ back is ready for next shot. The Ready Beep can set to either None, Single or Multi. The default setting is Single. Multi is ideal for use in noisy surroundings. None deactivates the audio Beep noise.

7.16 Restore to Default

Select Restore to Default to restore the IQ unit back to its default factory

settings. Caution! All previous settings will be lost.

7.14 Date and Time

Set the Date and Time to your local time zone. The default Date and Time is GMT+1. Tap the screen and scroll through the numbers to attain the appropriate date and time. Tap the check mark icon, which will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen to conrm your entry. The time and date is applied to the EXIF data in all les captured with the IQ back.

If the IQ back has been without power for a long period of time, it will automatically ask you to set the time and date on the next occasion it is powered up.

7.15 Language

Is it possible to change the default English language setting for the IQ user interface and menu system to one of nine others including German, French, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Chinese (simplied), Japanese, Korean and Russian.

N.B. If a language is selected that is not understandable, select the menu option with the ‘(L)’ to reselect. (See example circled left)

7.17 Firmware

It is important to keep the IQ’s rmware up-to-date to ensure you get new

features and remove any bugs or errors from previous rmware versions.

9.13 Infrared Photography

Infrared Photography is complicated when using digital backs, as the digital back is adjusted to match the viewable light perfectly.

Use a dedicated digital back for infrared photography. The IQ back needs to be adjusted to work properly for infrared photography. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

9.14 Custom Function

The custom functions can store separate three dierent camera setups. When at C-00, chose 1 (A), 2 (B), or 3 (C) to store a specic set of user function selections for the group of custom settings from C-01 to C-19.

The C-00 is set to 0 which is the settings used for the default set.

– All corrections in this area must be done by Phase One to ensure precision. If you remove the protective glass or make other physical adjustments on the back the warranty will immediately be void.

If you are considering Infrared Photography, please contact your local Phase One dealer for technical advice and pricing.

Infrared light has a slightly dierent area of sharpness compared to the viewable light so when the distance is set on the lens, you should always manually correct sharpness, to be aligned with the red dot.

Do not use your camera’s light meter when photographing infrared, as the light meter is aimed towards reading the visible light.

Setting Custom Functions

1. Turn on the power. Turn the shutter release mode lever to the S or C position.

2. Turn the exposure mode dial to select CF (Custom Function mode).

3. Turn the rear dial to select the settings for user A, B, or C.

4. Turn the front dial to select the item you want to set.

Clear all Custom Functions

Set mode dial button to CF, then press +/- button for 5 seconds, this will reset ALL Custom Functions to the factory default.

Setting Custom Functions to Default

1. By turning the exposure mode dial, CF (custom function mode) can be selected.

2. By turning the rear dial, user A, B or C can be selected.

3. Press and hold down set button (for longer than 1 second) and settings for A,B,C can be initialized, or the settings can be returned to “default”.

NOTE:

You cannot take photos in AE modes when using an infrared lm as the AE is based on visible light.

9.17 Lenses and Multi Mount

When it comes to lenses, Phase One provides the widest range of

possibilities to ensure photographers get the most creative freedom

from their Phase One camera.

This chapter looks at some possible lens systems. However, it is

worth noting that there are even more applicable lenses available than

presented in the upcoming pages. User can nd more information from

dedicated Phase One dealers on items such as mount-adaptors for

example the Phase One Multi-Mount.

N.B. Errors or damage caused by third party products are not covered

by the warranty. Please test new products with caution.

* The illustration shows the exposure mode Av (aperture priority AE) being recorded to C2.

NOTE:

Even when the power is switched o, the mode recorded will still be saved to C mode.

Programming the Custom Dial Modes C1, C2 or C3 via the camera body

1. Go to the setting you wish to assign to C1, C2 or C3.

2. After arriving at the setting you wish to assign, hold the SET button down while turning the mode dial to C1, C2 or C3. When you release the SET button, the chosen setting will be programmed to your selection of C1, C2 or C3.

10.6 Back Maintenance

Cleaning the CCD The Phase One IQ back must have the protection plate tted when it is not attached to a camera. Dust may accumulate on the IR lter, which will degrade the image quality if not removed. Please follow the directions included in the CCD cleaning kit that came with the IQ back.

10.7 IR Filter on the CCD

The IR lter (Infrared reduction lter) is permanently mounted on top of the CCD. The lter may not be removed for several reasons:

• The focusing of the IQ back camera back will be damaged

• It is only possible to remount the lter without dust getting in between the lter and the CCD if you have access to special clean room facilities

• The Phase One Product Warranty is terminated

Shutter speed from 1/4000s to 60 minutes, extremely high flash synchronisation up to 1/1600 second to stop action with fast shutter speed or flash.

The mirror and viewfinder of the Phase One 645DF+ camera are almost three times larger than those of 35mm cameras, providing much greater control of focus and composition.

While hosting a complete list of features and custom functions, the Phase One 645DF+ camera is extremely easy to use. All settings important to the exposure are easily controlled by manual dials and soft buttons.

User Guide: Appendix

14.0 Open Platform – Freedom of Choice

Phase One’s Open Platform policy delivers maximum choice and compatibility with a wide range of dierent camera platforms.

This section covers the IQ back’s compatibility with the Hasselblad V and H series, Mamiya RZ67, Phase One 645, Mamiya 645, Contax 645 and View Camera solutions.

Double Exposure Protection

It is not possible to accidentally double expose an image by capturing one shot quickly after another when an IQ back is used on cameras such as the Phase One 645DF+/DF/AF, Mamiya 645DF/AFDIII or Hasselblad 555 ELD (DIG mode). The electronic communication with the body ensures that the IQ back is ready before allowing release of the next shot. However, users of other camera bodies that do not use the electronic interface from the IQ will have to wait for the ready beep signal before releasing the next shot.

Viewnder Masks

Cameras including the Mamiya RZ67 and Hasselblad V-series need a viewnder mask as the image area of these models is dierent to the image sensor size of the three IQ models. Go to page 99 to nd out more about the IQ sensors and go to page 168 for the full list of focusing Screens and viewnder masks.

14.1 IQ2 Back and Phase One 645AF/DF/DF+ and Mamiya 645 AFD

14.3 More Details: Phase One and Mamiya 645 Series Cameras

The IQ back is fully integrated with the Phase One and Mamiya 645 camera series and functions as a part of the whole camera system. The IQ back communicates with the cameras through a fast internal electrical computer interface.

Find out more about the Phase One DF+ camera and IQ back from page 12.

14.2 Mounting IQ back on the Phase One 645 AF & Mamiya 645 AFD Series

Ensure that the camera mirror is up and the shutter is open when no digital back is attached. When attaching the IQ back to the camera body the shutter

will close and the mirror will come down.

1. Place the bottom of the IQ back in the locking mechanism.

2. Press the button (circled above left) with your thumb and lever the back into place.

3. Release the button to lock into position.

Failure to perform this procedure properly can cause an error with the camera body where the shutter will continuously open and close. If this occurs, remove the IQ back and follow steps 1 to 3 again.

Power Management and Shutter Latency

The IQ CCD is put to sleep to reduce power consumption when it is not in use. The IQ needs to wake up before shooting and the timing of this wake up

signal is referred to as the Latency. The Phase One and Mamiya 645 camera body response time is independent of the shutter latency setting so it is therefore recommended to keep the latency on the Normal (default) setting, as this will ensure a longer battery life.

Studio Flash Sync on the Camera Body

A ash sync lead should be connected to the camera body when using the IQ back on Phase One 645AF or 645DF/DF+, Mamiya AFD or AFDII models.

Always use a ash cable and/or equipment that provides grounding for the ash.

Image Orientation

The CCD in the IQ back is positioned in a landscape orientation. However, the IQ back has an internal sensor that detects when it has been rotated. Thus, when the camera is rotated and an image is captured in portrait position the image will appear correctly oriented on the LCD and in the Capture One application.

*Do not touch the mirror

Mirror*

It is not possible for the camera to measure light or focus when the mirror is up. If using the Mamiya 645AFD, please consult the Mamiya 645 Instruction manual to determine how to use the Mirror Up function.

Viewnder Masking

The image area of the Phase One and Mamiya 645 cameras is approximately 56x42 mm. Viewnder masking is not necessary for IQ280 and IQ260 models as their light sensitive CCD measures

53.9x40.4 mm.

The 645DF+ version of an IQ back can be used on a Mamiya RZ PRO IID with a Mamiya RZ PRO IID adaptor plate. (Phase One Part # 70994) The Hasselblad V version of an IQ back can be used on the older version Mamiya RZ PRO II with a Mamiya RZ Pro II adaptor. (Phase One Part# 70964)

N.B. It is possible to use a Hasselblad V version of an IQ back on the new Mamiya RZ67 PRO IID by getting the back mount plate modied with the following Mamiya service part number: Y22995-RZ.

15.1 Mounting IQ Back on the Mamiya RZ67

1. Place the bottom of the IQ back in the locking mechanism.

2. Press the button at the top of the back with your thumb and lever the back into place.

3. Release the button to lock into position.

N.B. It is important to ensure that the bottom part of the IQ back is attached correctly before the upper locking mechanism is pressed

together.

Mounting the IQ Back Vertically

The CCD in the IQ back is positioned in a landscape orientation. However, it is possible to mount the IQ back in an upright orientation to capture images in a portrait format without having to rotate the camera. The IQ back has an internal sensor that detects when it has been rotated so images will appear correctly oriented on the LCD and in the Capture One application.

Mount the IQ back in the portrait position by lining up the adapter mount to the corresponding indentations on the left side of the back. Press the button (circled left) and lever the back into place. Release the button to lock into position.

144 145

Page 74

15.2 Viewnder Masking

The image area of Mamiya RZ67 at 56x69.5 mm is larger than the size of the three IQ model’s sensors so it is necessary to insert a viewnder mask.

There are two dierent masks available for the Mamiya RZ67 according to which IQ is being used. (The size IQ280 and IQ260 models CCD is 53.9x40.4 mm while the IQ140’s CCD measures 43.9x32.9mm). Please check page 168 for the relevant viewnder mask.

15.3 More Details: Mamiya RZ67 Mode Selector

The mode selector on the trigger button should be turned to the white dot when used with the IQ back. The selector should be set to the orange dot to avoid draining the small battery when the IQ back is attached to the body and not in use.

Warning: Even if the IQ back is turned o, the battery will drain slowly if the orange dot is not selected

Shutter Latency Setting Mamiya RZ PRO II

An IQ back should be set to Normal Latency when it is used with a Mamiya RZ PRO II.

Insert a Viewnder Mask

1. Remove the protection tape from the mask.

2. Dismount the prism/waist-level nder and remove the focus screen.

3. Place the viewnder mask in the bracket that holds the focusing screen.

4. Re-mount the viewnder focus screen.

5. Re-attach the prism/waist-level nder.

N.B. Please check the relevant Mamiya RZ67 manual regarding how to dismount the viewnder and remove the focus screen.

Shutter Latency Setting Mamiya RZ PRO IID

Select the special Mamiya RZPRO IID camera mode, which available in the Camera mode menu to ensure that the correct latency setting is used.

Studio Flash Sync on the RZ lens

A ash sync lead should be connected to the port on a lens when an IQ back is used on a Mamiya RZ67 PRO IID. On the older PRO II, use the ash sync connector on the Adapter plate. (The ash sync port on the IQ back is for use with Large format cameras where no digital interface is available).

Mirror Up

Mirror up operation is only recommended if using Mamiya’s own double cable release.

Double Exposure

Is is only possible to get a double exposure when a Hasselblad V mount plate is being used. Avoid a double exposure by waiting for a ready-beep from the IQ back before capturing another image.

18.3 More Details: Contax 645 Exposure Modes

The Contax 645 manual (M) and semi-auto exposure modes (Av, Tv) are fully supported by the IQ back. Please note that Bulb is only supported on Contax/ IQ back when used in conjunction with the Live View function. Go to Chapter 21 (from page 169) for more information about Live View.

Please check the relevant Contax 645 manual for more information on exposure modes.

Ensure that exposure times are limited between 1/4000 second and approx. 1 second to obtain the highest possible quality with an IQ back and Contax

645. Please note that it is not possible to expose images longer than 60 seconds with an IQ back.

ISO Settings

The Contax 645 exposure modes use the ISO value set in the IQ back. The ISO setting can be adjusted from the camera back or in Capture One software when shooting tethered.

TTL ash

Using TTL ash with the Contax 645 camera and IQ back will result

in a 2 f-stop overexposure. When using TTL ash, the exposure

compensation on the ash unit must therefore be set to –2 f-stops.

This overexposure happens because the CCD element reects light

dierently than lm and this cannot be communicated to the Contax.

Image Orientation

The CCD in the IQ back is positioned in a landscape orientation.

However, the IQ back has an internal sensor that detects when it

has been rotated. Thus, when the camera is rotated and an image is

captured in portrait position the image will appear correctly oriented on

the LCD and in the Capture One application.

18.4 Flash Lead Connection

A ash cable is always connected to the Contax 645 camera body.

Please consult page 61 of this manual for details on setting the ISO. Go to page 53 for more information about tethered shooting.

Double Exposure Protection

It is not possible to accidently double expose an image by capturing one image quickly after another when an IQ back is used on a Contax 645 e.g. when using the continuous drive mode.

162 163

The ash sync cable must not be connected to the camera back when

used on a Contax 645. The ash sync connector on the IQ back is only

intended for use with a Phase One FlexAdaptor or other large format

adaptors.

19.0 IQ2 Back for View Cameras

The Phase One IQ back is compatible with most technical view cameras

and large format cameras via camera interface adaptors. The IQ back

supports most mechanical shutters and some electronic shutters from

Horseman, Schneider and other manufacturers.

Phase One Sleeping Architecture

The Phase One Sleeping Architecture has been developed to help

produce noise free exposures without the use of active cooling of the

CCD. The sleeping architecture ensures minimum heat build up inside

the back by putting all the unused circuits to sleep, and only powering

the circuits that are actually needed at any given time.

N.B. Operating the camera from the host computer The supplied release cable must be connected between the multiplepin connector on the IQ back and the mini-jack connector placed at the bottom of the handgrip on the Contax camera house.

164 165

Page 84

19.1 Using the 2-shot Release

The IQ back can be used with mechanical shutters that can be red twice within four seconds. The rst release of the shutter activates the digital back; the second release is for the exposure. If the time limit of four seconds is exceeded, the camera gives a warning ‘beep’ followed by a ‘two shoot error’ warning that will be displayed on the LCD screen.

19.3 Phase One FlexAdaptor

The Phase One FlexAdaptor is available for use with most large format

cameras.

The Phase One FlexAdaptor can automatically stitch two or three

images together using the Stitch function in Photoshop.

There are several automatic or semi-automatic two shoot solutions available from third parties manufacturers to use with a mechanical shutter. Please ask your dealer for more information.

19.2 Using the 1-shot Release

The 1-shot release cable is created to simplify your studio workow.

1. Connect the ash exit (circled left) on the shutter and plug the opposite end to the multi-pin port on the IQ back. (Via Part# 50300144 From multi-connector to mini jack female)

2. Connect a ash sync lead to the port on the IQ back.

3. Close the shutter if necessary.

4. Push the button on the 1-shot release lead to ‘wake up’ the camera back . (circled left) and take the shot within a few seconds.

N.B. It is not possible to control the exposure or trigger the shutter from Capture One when using a fully manual camera. Only limited EXIF data is recorded when shooting with manual cameras. The IQ back will add a calculated approximate shutter speed but the aperture value will not be recorded.

Please see the reference manual that comes with the FlexAdaptor for

more details.

19.4 Shutter Latency Settings for the FlexAdaptor and Other

Technical Camera Adaptors

The Phase One FlexAdaptor and other technical camera adaptors for

the IQ back can be used with both normal and zero shutter latency.

Select the Normal latency setting if the IQ back is used on a camera with a

2-shot release. (See 19.1, page 166)

Please note: The Zero shutter latency setting will increase the power

consumption of the IQ back, as it will be constantly prepared for

exposure.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy

set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless devices

employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit adopted by the FCC is

1.6W/kg for an uncontrolled environment. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by

the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. The FCC has

granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC

RF exposure guidelines.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating

can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as

to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the

lower the power output.
