Floppy disk installation for portable solution

If the Phase One portable solution is used, then installation can be performed from a floppy disk instead of from a CD-ROM. Copy the file CaptureOne Inst.exe from the CD-ROM to a floppy disk and run CaptureOne Inst.exe on the portable computer.

Restart the computer after installation.

Installed Items

The installer creates a folder on your hard disk called “Capture One Basic.” This folder contains the application as well as several sub-folders. They are:

Captures

As photographs are taken with the camera, this is the default location where raw capture files are stored. Also, you may organize your raw capture files by creating new folders on the harddrive.

Previews

The Capture One application automatically creates a low resolution (approximately 1MB) preview image to use for color and tonal adjustments. All preview files are stored in this “Previews” folder. If any files are deleted from here the program will automatically generate new previews the next time the software application is started or if previews are missing then press the „Refresh“ button to refresh the capture collection.

Images

By default developed images will be placed in this folder. Again, the preferences can be used to change where developed files will be placed.

Install the Software

Using the Phase One H 5

Phase One has made using the Phase One H 5 as close to using film as digital photography can be. The first step to using the camera back is to start the application. Double-click the Capture One short-cut.

Double-click the application icon to start the application that controls the camera back. After a few seconds the software will make a small “click” sound and the camera will beep. These two sounds indicate that everything is ready.

In practice the Phase One H 5 can now take pictures. However before shooting it is a good idea to ensure that the software settings are optimal. This will ensure the best possible image quality and workflow.
