9.12 Depth of Field
Depth of eld (D.O.F.) is dened as the zone of sharpness before and behind
the plane of focus. It depends on distance to subject, focal length of lens,
aperture setting and distance the lens is focused at.
In addition to visual observation via the depth of eld preview button, the
D.O.F. can be determined by using the depth of eld scale on each lens. The f/
stop numbers appear on both the right and left side of the white index mark
in the center of the scale. Simply read the gures which appear above the f/
stop numbers on the distance scale of the lens.
Depth of Field Preview Button
When the preview button is pressed in, the depth of eld for the aperture set
on the camera can be checked by looking through the viewnder.
After focusing, press the preview button. The diaphragm will be stopped
down to the set aperture.

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!
– 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 dierent 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 in front of 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.
NOTICE:
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.
9.18 Functions of the Phase One Lens
The Phase One 80mm f/2.8 is a sharp and well tested digital lens. The lens
is mounted by aligning the white dot on the lens with the white dot on the
camera body. Carefully mount the lens by turning it clockwise, until a click
is heard. If you feel resistance or if you hear a scratching-like sound stop and
retry – NEVER use force when mounting the lens as it should always slide into
place without resistance.
9.19 Function of the Phase One Lens Adaptor
To mount the Phase One Multi-Mount, match the white dot on the camera
up with the white dot on the Multi-Mount and turn slowly clockwise. NEVER
use force to mount the ring. When the Phase One Multi-Mount is mounted
you can t Carl Zeiss/Hasselblad V and Hasselblad 200series lenses on the
camera.

User Guide: Appendix
13.0 Open Platform – Freedom of Choice
Phase One’s Open Platform policy delivers maximum choice and compatibility
with a wide range of dierent 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.
Viewnder Masks
Cameras including the Mamiya RZ67 and Hasselblad V-series need a
viewnder mask as the image area of these models is dierent to the image
sensor size of the three IQ models. Go to page 92 to nd out more about
the IQ sensors and go to page 155 for the full list of focusing Screens and
viewnder masks.
132
13.1 IQ Back and Phase One 645AF/DF/DF+ and Mamiya 645 AFD
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.
13.2 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.
133
13.3 More Details: Phase One and Mamiya 645 Series Cameras
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.

Mirror Up
When using mirror up with the Drive Dial in the M.UP position ensure that
the Exposure Mode Dial and the focus mode are both in Manual mode (M).
It is not possible for the camera to measure light or focus when the mirror is
up. Please consult the Mamiya 645 Instruction manual to learn how to use
Mirror Up.
Viewnder Masking
The image area of the Phase One and Mamiya 645 cameras is approximately
56x42 mm. Viewnder masking is not necessary for IQ280 and IQ260 models
as their light sensitive CCD measures 53.9x40.4 mm.

148
Viewnder Information
The viewnder information bar is located below the image area within
the viewnder display. It displays the camera’s exposure mode and values
etc. It also includes a counter with the number of captures remaining on
the storage media. (See top bar circled left). ‘99’ is the maximum number
displayed. ‘99’ will continue to be displayed if there are more than that
remaining on a CompactFlash card. An ‘E’ indicates that the storage media
is full. Users will have to delete some captures or replace the CompactFlash
card before continuing. (See bottom bar circled left).
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 Hasselblad H1/H2.
N.B. At the end of an exposure, image information has to be moved from the
CCD to the processing system. During this short period of time the CCD must
be protected from light exposure. The IQ back ensures that the CCD is safely
cleared of information by disabling the Hasselblad camera’s shutter release
during this procedure.
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.
149
Flash Lead Connection
A ash cable is always connected to the Hasselblad H1/H2 camera body.

17.3 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
20 (from page 156) for more information about Live View.
Please check the relevant Contax 645 manual for more information on

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.
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.
153
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 reects light dierently
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.
17.4 Flash Lead Connection
A ash cable is always connected to the Contax 645 camera body.

18.0 IQ 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.
156
18.1 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.
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.
18.2 Using the 1-shot Release
The 1-shot release cable is created to simplify your studio workow.
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.
157
18.3 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.
Please see the reference manual that comes with the FlexAdaptor for more
details.
18.4 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 18.1)
Please note: The Zero shutter latency setting will increase the power
consumption of the IQ back, as it will be constantly prepared for exposure.
