Viewnder Information
The viewnder information bar is located below the image area within
the viewnder display. It displays the camera’s exposure mode and values
etc. It also includes a counter with the number of captures remaining on
the storage media. (See top bar circled left). ‘99’ is the maximum number
displayed. ‘99’ will continue to be displayed if there are more than that
remaining on a CompactFlash card. An ‘E’ indicates that the storage media
is full. Users will have to delete some captures or replace the CompactFlash
card before continuing. (See bottom bar circled left).
Double Exposure Protection
It is not possible to accidently double expose an image by capturing one
image quickly after another when an IQ1 back is used on a Hasselblad H1/H2.
N.B. At the end of an exposure, image information has to be moved from the
CCD to the processing system. During this short period of time the CCD must
be protected from light exposure. The IQ1 back ensures that the CCD is safely
cleared of information by disabling the Hasselblad camera’s shutter release
during this procedure.
Image Orientation
The CCD in the IQ1 back is positioned in a landscape orientation. However, the
IQ1 back has an internal sensor that detects when it has been rotated. Thus,
when the camera is rotated and an image is captured in portrait position
the image will appear correctly oriented on the LCD and in the Capture One
application.
