Phase One 645 AF manual FileFormat

In general, if the camera is used with medium format cameras with digital interface the setting can be either “Short latency” or “Long latency”.

Short latency has a shorter response time, but is power consuming, so when battery time is an issue you should select “Long latency” on the cost of response time from the camera.

If the P+ back is used in “two shoot mode” on a large format camera with i.e. a copal shutter or another mechanical shutter where the shutter is released one time for waking up the back, and another time for shooting the image, then the shutter setting in the P+ back should be set to “long latency”.

While short latency will respond immediately to triggering the camera, Long latency will not be that fast, but in return you gain much longer battery power.

FileFormat

In “FileFormat” you can select two options “IIQ Raw L” and “IIQ Raw S”.

“IIQ Raw” is a short term for Intelligent Image Quality Raw.

“IIQ Raw L” is set as the default and is the loss less capture format of the P+ back.

“IIQ Raw S” is a smaller file, and not totally loss less in the format. The “IIQ Raw L” is approximately 1/3 file size of the processed TIFF file. “IIQ Raw S” is approximately 1/5 of the processed TIFF. Most users will use the “IIQ Raw S” as there is virtually no quality difference between the two settings.

Please consult the camera specific sections in this manual to learn more about how to use shutter latency with your particular P+ back setup.
