At this point it may be a good idea to set up Photoshop and the system for Color Management. A brief guide to Color Management and Profiles is provided in the Tools or Preferences section of this manual.

Taking Photographs

The Phase One H 5 is designed for ease of use and high performance. First time digital photographers, as well as experienced digital photographers, can immediately begin taking images of excellent quality. The Phase One H 5 can capture one image every 1.5 seconds.

The camera makes a small “beep” when it is ready to capture the next image. If an attempt is made to shoot too quickly the camera will still respond, but images will not be recorded.

Selecting Landscape or Portrait Orientation

The Phase One H 5 can be mounted on a wide range of professional medium format cameras, technical cameras (also referred to as view cam- eras) and other camera systems where image orientation is not automati- cally detected. Here camera orientation must be determined manually in the Capture One Software. Select the desired camera orientation in the Preferences dialogue box. Images will automatically be rotated to landscape or portrait orientation.

Organizing Images

Creating folders to hold captures and choosing session names, before or during shooting, will save time during the processing stage.

If, for instance, there is a photo session of a model with three different colored outfits, three separate session folders can be created in advance. When shooting, just select one of the three folders for image storage. Organizing files as you are shooting will save time later when you want to print a contact sheet or archive files.
