Picture Count The file size is determined by the image size and compression rate. The number of frames that can be saved to the memory card varies depending on the image size and compression rate.
Image-Related Settings Number of Frames for Continuous Shooting Approximate number of frames taken in succession with the battery fully charged Temperature Frame Count Normal temperature (20°C) Approx. 450 frames Low temperature (0°C) Approx. 70 frames * Under Mamiya test conditions based on CIPA standard conditions. MEMO • The picture count may be reduced depending on the actual shooting conditions, amount of LCD monitor use, etc. • Battery performance deteriorates in low temperatures.
Color Space Color space refers to the area where colors are reproduced. The color reproduction area varies depending on the type of digital camera, monitor, printer or other input/output device. To match the colors from input to output, it is necessary to adjust the colors reproduced by each device by correcting/managing the different color reproduction areas. Adobe RGB color space has a broader color reproduction area than sRGB and is mainly used for business purposes, such as commercial printing.
White Balance The adaptability of the human eye enables us to see white as white regardless of the light source, such as daylight, cloudy skies, incandescent lighting or fluorescent lighting. To capture white as white in the same way as the human eye in images taken with a digital camera, the camera must be adjusted to suit the light conditions under which the subject is captured. Available white balance settings Indicator White balance Color temperature Description Auto Approx.
Color Temperature Light has various hues and may be reddish or bluish, for example. Reproducing such hues requires an objective gauge (scale). The color temperature describes the hue by the absolute temperature (K: kelvin). The higher the color temperature, the bluer the hue and the lower the color temperature, the redder the hue.
White Balance SD JPEG CUSTOM CF PC 2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the number of adjustment steps. When an adjustment is made, the adjustment icon +/– and number of steps appear.

Setting the Color Temperature You can set the color temperature used for the white balance by the color temperature setting (kelvin value). 1. Press the WB button on the back of SD this unit.
Customized White Balance Use the customized white balance when the desired white balance cannot be obtained by the manual white balance settings or color temperature settings. Two customized white balance settings can be saved. This function is useful when taking pictures in a limited color temperature environment. 1. Press the MENU button to display the menu. 2. Use the toggle key to select [6 Customize White balance] in the Recording menu and press the OK button. 3.
White Balance Important • The white balance can be customized in any exposure mode, but auto mode is recommended. • The white balance can be customized without focusing ( can be used). • Take the white or gray object in standard exposure. If excessively under- or overexposed, the correct customized white balance may not be obtained. • Select as achromatic an object as possible when customizing the white balance.
ISO Sensitivity (Image Sensitivity) The ISO sensitivity (image sensitivity) is a numeric indication of the degree to which the image sensor reacts to light. The higher the number, the greater the sensitivity to light and suitability to taking pictures in low light where a fast shutter speed is required. Greater sensitivity, however, is accompanied by some loss of quality, apparent as noise, color noise or grainy images. The standard Mamiya ZD Back film speed is ISO 50.
Setting the Color Mode You can set the color reproduction of the images you capture. There are four color modes to choose from: standard, portrait, landscape and products. The default setting is standard mode. Color mode Standard Description Produces the most natural color tones. Suitable for most pictures. Portrait Emphasizes skin tones.

Appendix This chapter provides information on digital terminology, an index, and the camera specifications.
Digital Terminology Channel The image’s color component. On a “Curve/histogram” screen, there are four channels, “RGB”, “R-ch (red)”, “G-ch (green)”, “B-ch (blue)”, and the component distribution in each channel can be adjusted. CMS Abbreviation for “Color Management System”. Refer to “Color management system”. CMYK A method of expressing color. By changing the mix ratio of Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K), all colors can be expressed. It is a method originally used in color printing.
Compression The process of reducing the size of a file using a predetermined method. Conversely, the process of restoring compressed data is known variously as, “decoding”, “unpacking”, “expansion”, “decompression”, or “extraction”. Compression is necessary for saving or transmitting full color high resolution image data as the file sizes become large.
Digital Terminology IEEE 1394 A high speed serial transmission system/protocol that connects a computer with a peripheral device such as an MO drive or digital camera. High speed data transmission is performed through a connection cable. JPEG Abbreviation for “Joint Photographic Experts Group”. A compression system for still image data, the JPEG file format takes the name of a professional organization established by ISO.
ppc This is an abbreviation for a unit of resolution, “pixels per centimeter”. It expresses the number of pixels in one centimeter. A higher number relates to a higher resolution. ppi This is an abbreviation for a unit of resolution, “pixels per inch”. It expresses the number of pixels in one inch. A higher number relates to a higher resolution. Profile A file that defines the color characteristics, and the color reproduction area of each input device.
Digital Terminology RGB A method of expressing color. Colors are expressed by overlaying and combining the three colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B). These three colors are called the three primary colors of light, and by overlaying and combining them, every color can be expressed. Like light, the image becomes brighter as more colors are overlaid and combined, (if red, green and blue are all combined at 100%, they become white), so this method is known as the additive color mixture method.
