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.

2.4 Charging the Batteries for the IQ 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).

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

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.

Page 16

2.5 Batteries for Camera

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 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.

Checking the Battery Power

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

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.

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, deliver the battery for appropriate disposal.

Page 17

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.

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.

1. Remove the front body cap in the same way that you would remove a lens; push the lens release button [A] backward and then turn the front body cap

or the lens itself counter clockwise and lift out.

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.

Remove a Lens

While sliding the lens release button[A] back, rotate the lens counter clockwise until it stops, and lift it o. After removing the lens from the camera body, protect both ends by attaching the caps.

N.B. Oil, dust, ngerprints or water on the electronic contacts could result in malfunction or corrosion. Wipe such impurities o with a clean piece of cloth. Do not tap the distance ring or other rotating parts when attaching the lens. When installing a lens, do not press the lens release button.

Page 19

Attach a Leaf Shutter Lens

Leaf shutter lenses are equipped with an internal shutter. Leaf shutter lenses are capable of high shutter speeds 1/800 sec. or 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.

2.8 Adjusting the Strap

Put the neck strap through the mounts and secure it to the buckle as illustrated. After attaching the strap, pull it and ensure it does not loosen at the buckle.

Page 20

2.9 Attaching the IQ Back

The IQ back is fully integrated with the camera body and functions as a part of the whole camera system.

Ensure that the Phase One 645DF 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 come down.

First remove the cover. Next, 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 [A+B] 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, press button [2] while mounting the digital back, lock the mounted back by pressing [1].

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 the back 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.

2.13 The Buttons on the Back

The IQ is equipped with four external buttons. The buttons will change function to match the menu shown on the sceen. Find out more on the IQ menus from page 75.

2.14 LED Lights

IQ Series digital backs feature two main LEDs located below the bottom left corner of the screen.

The IQ Series Home screen

Green: When capturing an image the green LED will blink rapidly to indicate that the IQ back is busy.

A continuous green light indicates that the backlight of the display is dimmed but the camera is still ready to shoot. (The Display O Time can be set in the IQ back’s Menu mode in the Power Management options).

Red: A red LED indicates that the IQ back is writing to the storage media, and therefore the buer has not been emptied.

There is an additional red LED indicator located next to the CF card slot (under the cover). It is assigned to indicate CF card activity only. Do not remove a CF card from the card slot when this red LED is on. Removing a CF card whilst the red LED is on can damage the formatting of the card, and images or data might be lost or corrupted.

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.

2. Set the Focus mode selector lever to S (Single focus mode).

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)

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

Page 30

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.

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 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).

Page 31

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.

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.

3.5 Focus 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 (continuously) 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.

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 “half-press” 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.

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.

Page 33

Single Focus 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.

Continuous Focus 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.

Manual Focus Mode (M)

To attain full manual control of the focus function you can change to manual focus mode in two ways.

1. All lenses: Turn the focus mode selector lever to M (manual focus mode).

2. Manual Focus operation for telephoto and zoom lenses: All newer Phase One, Mamiya and Schneider Kreutznach lenses can be switched from Auto Focus to Manual Focus by using the AF ring or slider tted on the lens.

Manual Focusing using the Focus Mark (Focus conrmation method)

Half-press the shutter release button and turn the lens focusing ring to focus on the subject. The focus mark is illuminated in the viewnder’s LCD to signal that a picture is in focus. If  is lit in the viewnder’s LCD, the camera is focused on a point behind the object. If  is lit, the camera is focused on a point in front of the object.

- Use the focus mark when taking photos in manual focus mode or when using the M645 manual lens.

- If you adjust focus using the focus mark with an M645 lens, make sure to open the aperture. You can use this function with the lens set to f/5.6 or higher.

When Auto Focus Fails

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.)

• 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

Page 36

3.7 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.

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.

Notice:

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.

The AF assist infrared light can be disabled.

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).

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.)

NOTICE:

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.

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 half-pressed.

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.)

4.0 Introduction to the IQ Series Digital Back

System Overview

The Phase One IQ 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 Phase One IQ Series include three dierent models; the IQ180, IQ160 and the IQ140 that feature maximum resolutions of 80, 60.5 and 40 high quality megapixels respectively. (The IQ140 has a slightly smaller sensor than the other two models that produces a lens multiplication factor of 1.3). All of the backs have a dynamic range of 12.5 f-stops. The IQ backs are the rst product of their kind to feature a USB3 connection, facilitating faster image transfers in the future. The backs also features a FireWire 800 connection, ensuring the fastest tethered capture speeds possible today. All three models also incorporate a newly-designed 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 IQ 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.

Go to www.phaseone.com/Digital-Backs/IQ180/IQ180-IQ-series.aspx or page 92 of this User Guide for more information on the IQ product range.

The following section deals with generic features that are available in all three IQ Series digital back models.

*The Sensor + megapixel rating for the IQ180 shoots is 20 megapixel resolution, the IQ160 is 15 megapixel resolution and the IQ140 at 10 megapixel resolution.

Page 51

4.2 General Hardware Setup

Powering up the IQ back

After an IQ back is connected to a camera body, insert a battery or a FireWire 800 cable and it will automatically turn on. The back is switched on/o by pressing the power button located below the IQ back display.

ISO Settings

The IQ180 back has a default ISO spectrum from ISO 35-800. The IQ160 and IQ140 have a default ISO spectrum from ISO 50-800. An ISO rating can be selected from the menu system (when untethered) or in the Capture panel of the Capture One application (when tethered).

Sensor+ technology, built into the Phase One IQ Series models, expands the ISO range from 140 to 3200 at 20 megapixels resolution for the IQ180. The IQ160 and IQ140 have a Sensor+ ISO range from 200 to 3200 at 15 and 10 megapixels resolution respectively.

Power Management and Shutter Latency

The IQ 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 IQ back is used on cameras such as the Phase One 645AF, Phase One 645DF, Mamiya 645 AFD/AFD II/AFDIII, Hasselblad 555 ELD (DIG mode), Hasselblad H or Contax 645. 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.

Page 52

4.3 Indicator Lights

IQ Series digital backs feature two main red and green LEDs located below the bottom left corner of the screen. When the IQ 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 IQ 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 IQ 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 IQ 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 84 for more details about charging the battery whilst tethered to a computer).

Additional Red LED

4.4 Indicators

Long exposure time indicator: An exposure time indicator will appear on the IQ 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.

Page 53

4.5 Tethered and Untethered Operations

Untethered: An IQ 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 IQ back even when shooting tethered to a computer via a FireWire connection. When operating tethered, image les can be shot to a CompactFlash card or transferred directly to the assigned capture folder in the Capture One application on the computer hard disk. (Go to page 84 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. IQ Series backs match the FireWire 800 standard.

Plug the FireWire 800 cable into the IQ 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 IQ back and settings shared. (Read more on capturing in the Capture One software manual).

N.B: IQ backs are compabile with FireWire 400. Please order a Phase One FireWire 800 to 400 cable 4.5M. Part No: 50300164

Page 54

The display on an IQ 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.

An IQ back will default to its untethered mode when the FireWire 800 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 IQ back can be forced to shoot to either CompactFlash or via a FireWire 800 cable to a computer. Find out more on page 85).

For more information on capturing 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/CO6/Capture/Tethered-Shooting.aspx

Page 55

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 IQ 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.

Page 56

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 IQ 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 IQ 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.

How does 3S work?

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

Lower gigabyte capacity cards will load quicker than high capacity versions. It is not recommended to turn o the Check Disk function. 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 IQ 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:

• There is no need to format a card on a computer

• Damaged or incorrectly formatted cards will be detected immediately. IQ

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.

Page 57

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).

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

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.

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. Only after it has been switched on, will it continue to charge when it is turned o. Battery charging is indicated by an orange LED on the rear of the IQ back when it has been turned o.

Page 85

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.

7.4 Check Disk

A disk check is performed on every memory card that is inserted into the IQ 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 on page 56 of this User Guide.

7.5 Storage Mode

Storage allows users to congure how an IQ 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 IQ back. If the IQ back is being used to shoot tethered, it will store image les directly to the computer via the connected FireWire 800 cable. The FireWire will have priority if a card is in the IQ back at the same time as it is connected by FireWire to a computer.

N.B The IQ back can be forced to shoot to either CompactFlash or via a FireWire 800 cable to a computer by selecting CF or FireWire respectively. An Error Message will appear on the IQ screen if the IQ back is not tethered to a computer and the IQ card slot is empty.

Page 86

7.6 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.

7.7 Camera Mode

There are two primary choices in the Camera Mode menu. Mamiya mount IQ backs have three choices. Select one of the following options:

Normal: The recommended default setting.

Aerial: This mode is design for highly specialist purposes only. It is not recommended for use without consultation. Contact your Phase One dealer to nd out more about the Aerial mode. Warning! Images will be degraded in the Aerial mode unless used with specialist hard/software.

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

7.8 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 recommended setting is Normal 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 128.

7.9 Image Orientation

The Image Orientation function sets and stores the orientation of all subsequently captured images. Select 0, 80, 180 or 270 to force the back to mark images as captured with that orientation. The Auto setting uses the back’s built in orientation sensor to determine the orientation at the moment of capture. Changing this setting will not aect how captured images are displayed on the LCD.

Page 87

7.10 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.

NOTICE:

After taking pictures using the Exposure Compensation feature, be sure to return the exposure compensation dial to the 0 position.

The exposure compensation feature is available during AE locked operation.

The width of the exposure compensation step can be changed.

The maximum amount of the compensation can be set either at ±3 or ±5.

9.0 Advanced 645 DF Camera Functions

9.1 Exposure Compensation

In situations providing extreme high contrast, the resulting photograph may be under or overexposed. When this occurs, use the Exposure Compensation function. Exposure Compensation can also be used when you want to intentionally create overexposed or underexposed pictures. N.B. Creating an under or overexposed image can also be eectivity achieved with the High Dynamic Range Tool and Exposure Tool in Capture One.

The exposure compensation dial icon:

1. Press the Exposure Compensation button [A] so that icon appears on the camera’s top LCD. When the front or rear dial is turned counter-clockwise, the exposure is increased and when it is turned clockwise, it is decreased. The exposure compensation value can be checked on the external LCD or LCD inside the viewnder.

2. After taking the pictures, press the Exposure Compensation button [A] again to return the exposure compensation value to 0. The exposure compensation value mark on the external LCD is cleared and the exposure compensation function is released.

NOTICE:

[ ] in the viewnder LCD blinks to indicate the exposure is locked, when you continue to take the next picture in the AE lock mode.

9.2 AE Lock

AE lock function is useful in a number of shooting scenarios but is particularly

useful when capturing panoramic images where a consistent exposure is needed to seamlessly stick images together in post production.

The AEL button will lock the Auto-exposure value as the photo is being recomposed.

1. Turn the shutter release mode selector lever to S or C.

If you turn the shutter release mode selector lever to the L (power OFF) position, or after elapse of one hour, the AE lock mode will automatically be cancelled.

In the Manual M exposure mode, you cannot use the AE lock function.

When the dierence between the metered value and the set value is displayed, press the AEL button [A] for approximately one second, and one-push shift function will be activated and the camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed.

2. Turn the exposure mode setting dial and select P, Av or Tv.

3. Focus on the subject for metering exposure, and press the AEL button on the rear of the grip. [ ] Will appear on the viewnder LCD, indicating that the exposure value is locked.

4. Slide the camera to recompose the shot, and take the picture.

When you press and hold AEL button the over/under exposure value will be shown to the far right in the viewnder LCD.

The way to cancel the AE lock can be changed. C-11 AEL function lock/unlock mode

[AEL]

Half-pressing of he shutter release button can activate the AE lock mode. C-10 Release

button [HALF]

The assignment of the AEL button and AFL button can be swapped by using C-09 AEL &

AFL button [AEFL]

Keep pressing the AEL button [A] and the dierence between the metered exposure value and the exposure of the new composition will be displayed on the viewnder LCD. This function can be used to see if an object of very dierent brightness levels can be properly photographed.

If the dierence between the set value and the metered value exceeds 6EV, the viewnder LCD blinks “– u –” for underexposure and “– o – ” for overexposure.

By turning the front or rear dial in the AE lock mode, you can change the aperture and shutter speed value without changing the exposure value that is set when entered into AE lock mode.

In the P mode (Program AE) mode, turning either the front or rear dial shifts the program to PH and PL. When in Av (Aperture priority AE) or Tv Shutter priority AE), turning one of the dials changes both the aperture and shutter speed values.

Exposure compensation and autobracketing function can be used when the camera is in the AE lock mode in normal operation or with the mirror locked up.

NOTICE:

When you want to cancel the autobracketing mode, turn the rear dial to change “On” to “OF”

9.4 Auto Bracketing

Auto Bracketing can be used when it is dicult to determine your exposure compensation value. This function automatically captures dierent exposure variations in succession. The bracketing margin can be selected as desired for shooting in Auto Bracketing mode.

NOTICE:

After multiple turns, the mark [RP] will appear in the main LCD.

Repeat turning will lead to a countdown being displayed on the main LCD and after taking a photo the camera will return to Auto Bracketing mode.

The setting for the Auto Bracketing will be stored by pressing any other button or leaving the camera for 5 seconds.

Bracketing Margin

2. Turn on Auto Bracketing by pressing the Auto Bracketing button[A] for approximately one second. The Auto Bracketing icon will blink on the top LCD panel. Turn the front dial (before this indicator times out) and change OF on the display to On.

3. When the shutter button is pressed in Auto Bracketing mode, the auto bracketing mark will blink on the LCD inside the viewnder. The bracket step width is displayed and the Auto Bracketing icon will also blink.

4. To deactivate the bracketing function, press the Auto Bracketing set button[A], turn the rear dial, set auto bracketing mode to OF, and release. Then press the Auto Bracketing set button [A] or half-press the shutter button to return to the normal display mode.
