4.0 Introduction to the IQ2 Series Digital Back System Overview The Phase One IQ2 Series Digital Back is designed to fit on the Phase One 645DF+ as well as several other brands or models of medium format cameras. The IQ2 Series include four different models; the IQ280, IQ260 and the IQ260 Achromatic, and the new IQ250. The backs incorporate 80 and 60-megapixel CCD sensors for the IQ280 and two IQ260 models repectively, and a newly developed 50-megapixel CMOS sensor for the IQ250. They also feature USB3.
1. 4. 4.1 Quick Start (shooting untethered) 4.2 1. Connect an IQ2 digital back to the camera and install the focusing screen if applicable. 2. Charge the batteries (See page 16) then insert them into the camera. 3. Insert a CompactFlash card into the IQ2 Back. ISO Settings The IQ280 back has an ISO spectrum from ISO 35-800. The IQ260 has a 50800 spectrum and the Achromatic back has a ISO spectrum from 200-3200. The default ISO setting is 50 for IQ280 and IQ260 models and 200 for the Achromatic.
4.3 4.5 Indicator Lights IQ2 Series digital backs feature two main red and green LEDs located below the bottom left corner of the screen. When the IQ2 back is activated, the green and red LEDs will flash shortly and a beep will sound to indicate that it is ready to capture. In general, if the LEDs are not illuminated the camera is ready. A red indicates that the IQ2 back is writing to the storage media, and therefore the buffer has not been emptied.
Tethered Operations Continued The display on an IQ2 Series back can be either be turned off while shooting tethered or set to display the images while they are shot, just as if shooting untethered. It is also possible to enlarge a section of an image on the IQ2 screen to help check focus of the current and upcoming captures. An IQ2 back will default to its untethered mode when the FireWire 800 or USB3.0 cable is removed in its Auto Storage setting.
4.7 Secure Storage System (3S) You can always be sure that your data is safe when working with memory cards in a Phase One IQ2 back. The Phase One Secure Storage System (3S) provides the industry’s safest memory card handling. The 3S technology automatically checks your card’s file structure every time it is inserted into the IQ2 back. If the disk check function finds any errors, it will prevent usage of the card until these are corrected or the card is formatted.
5.0 5.1 Navigating the IQ2 User Interface and Menu System Play Home Screen The IQ2 Home Screen is the first view users will see as soon as the back is switched on. This is the back’s default screen and the starting point in which to negotiate the menu system. It enables direct access to the Play mode to view captured images, the Menu to configure the IQ back’s setup and ISO sensitivity and White Balance (WB) settings.
5.3 5.4 ISO Touch Screen Operation All four IQ2 models incorporate a 3.2 inch touch screen. The screen lets you zoom, pan and browse through images fast and it is easy to navigate between different menus and features. The IQ2 series backs are designed with invisible controls that are context sensitive and appear only when specific areas of the screen are touched. One example of this is the unique instant zoom function, which allows you to zoom just by using one finger.
5.5 5.6 White Balance Push the lower right button or tap WB on the Home Screen. You will be presented with the back’s White Balance settings. Scroll up and down and tap the screen to select the desired setting. A green check mark will appear next to your chosen setting and you will automatically return to the Home Screen. The default ISO setting is Auto that will calculate a White Balance based on the information in the image. Auto WB is appropriate for most applications.

The default Tool View features five tools that include an Exposure Warning, a Focus Mask, an Exposure Histogram, an Alignment tool and File Info. 6.2 Play Mode: Context Menu Press the Context Menu button in the corner of each Play mode.
6.3 Info Bar The bottom of the screen features an Info Bar that displays a Power Indicator that shows the remaining battery capacity and a FireWire or USB3.0 icon if the IQ2 is being used to shoot tethered. The Power Indicator will start blinking when it runs low to warn users that the battery needs to be replaced before capturing any more images. The FireWire or USB3.0 icon will also blink on and off to signify that there is a connection problem when set to their respective storage modes.
6.7 6.8 Grid Delete in Thumbnail View Select the trash icon to Delete images in the Thumbnail View. A trash icon will appear in the Info Bar at the bottom of the screen. Tap each individual thumbnail that you want to delete. (A small red trash icon will appear in the top left corner of the thumbnail).
