N o t e

The CAMERA item on the menu remains dimmed when the sensor unit is attached to the H4D body.

  Use with view / large format cameras

For optimum use, the H4D sensor unit can also be used with view cameras (with the ­appropriate adapter and cables).

The exposure time set on the unit sets the maximum length of exposure. The default setting is 1/8 sec and this is the setting that can be kept for all exposures from 1/8 sec through 1/2000sec. However, this setting should be changed in accordance with the time required if it exceeds 1/8 sec. Times of up to 32 seconds can be set.

If you prefer, you can connect the ‘Flash sync input cable’ between the lens PC socket and the unit which allows you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second while still being able to use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This method also allows the use of the B setting.

Model setting variations

When using the H4D sensor unit with a view camera you should make the appropriate­ setting change accordingly. Don’t forget to change the setting again if you change camera model!

The five options are:

•  H4D: For automatic setting in normal H4D use.

•  Schneider: For use with view cameras and Schneider lenses.

•  LensCtrlS: For use with view cameras.

•  Pinhole: Intended primarily for use in a studio environment where complete dark- ness can be achieved and captures made accordingly (also useful for ‘light painting’). In this mode the H4D uses the exposure time (as well as other required stages in a capture sequence) set in the Capture Sequence dialog. The back can be triggered either via the START (MENU/EXIT) button or from Phocus.

•  Flash sync: For use with view cameras.
