5.3Tethered operations

When operating in a studio, connected to a computer via FireWire you are not dependent on battery power or storage media. You can capture directly to the Phase One Capture One Raw workflow software on either Mac or PC, providing power to the P+ back via FireWire without the battery or CF-card inserted.

When operating tethered you have the option of capturing the images to the CF-card or transferring captures directly to the currently assigned capture folder in the Capture One application on the computer hard disk.

The display on the P+ back can either be turned off while shooting tethered or set to display the images while they are shot, just as if shooting untethered.

When unplugging the P+ back from the FireWire, the P+ back will default to untethered mode, capturing to CF-card or microdrive, and using the battery for power.

Also when capturing tethered to a laptop with 4 pin mini 1394/FireWire without power it will require a battery in the P+ back.

With the (non P+) P 20 and P 25 it is necessary to use the Phase One “No Firewire Power Solution” Part.# 70508 to force battery power.

Using the four menu buttons you can setup the preferences for all these operational features.
