Other Photographic Equipment

While the Phase One H 5 has been made as compatible as possible with photographic equipment, there are a few issues to be aware of:

1)When using the Phase One H 5 with a Hasselblad 555ELD, the setting on the front of the Hasselblad needs to be in the “Film” position.

2)When using the Phase One H 5 on a view camera use the “Two Shot Mode”. This means that the shutter release is activated twice. To shoot an image, release the shutter, reset it, and shoot another frame. The first shot wakes the camera up, and the second is the actual exposure.

Alternatively pressing the “Capture” button in the preview window will wake the camera up and then the shutter can be fired once to take a photo.

The camera will remain “awake” for 20 seconds or until the next capture.

3)When used on a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II the selector on the right side of the camera body must be in the “M” position.

4)The Phase One H 5 fully conforms to the ISO 10330 Standard for Photographic Strobe Systems; unfortunately not all strobe manufacturers comply with this standard. Check with the manufacturer of your strobe system to prevent damage to the Phase One H 5.

5)The “Strobe Equipment” section of this guide provides a list of devices that have been tested.

LED Indicators Lights

On the back of the Phase One H 5 are two sets of LED indicator lights. A red and green light on the left and a red and green light on the right. The left and right pairs are identical and should always display the same thing. These lights indicate the camera back status. The list below describes what the status lights indicate:

Green Lights Steadily On

This means that the Phase One H 5 is receiving power and is ready to capture images.

Green Lights Flickering

After capturing an image the green lights will flicker on and off while transfering the image to the computer.

Both Red and Green Lights Steadily On

If the camera is improperly shut down or an error occurs both sets of lights may stay lit. If this happens, quit the LightPhase software, unplug the camera back and wait ten seconds, then replug the camera.

No Lights On

If the camera is properly plugged in and receiving power and their are no lights on, the camera back has shut down or may be damaged. Unplug all connectors, inspect all cables for damage, examine the IEEE 1394 card (if in use) for proper installation and reconnect everything. If the problem persists, contact your Phase One dealer for assistance.
