7.2 Power Management

The Power Management menu option has three criteria to help preserve

battery life and help keep operating temperatures low when working in hot

conditions. (See below and page 87 for more details).

Display O Time

Switch o the IQ1’s display screen after 5 seconds, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 5

minutes. The display can also be set to remain permanently on while the IQ1

is in operation with the Always On option.

Battery Charging

The IQ1 back has an integrated battery charger to ensure that the battery

is charged when shooting tethered via a USB or FireWire connection.

This function can be switched o or set to Slow or Fast. The Slow and O

settings should be chosen to preserve the battery life of a laptop when

shooting tethered.

N.B. The battery will only charge via a USB or FireWire connection when the

IQ1 back is switched on. Only after it has been switched on, will it continue

to charge when it is turned o. Battery charging is indicated by an orange

LED on the rear of the IQ1 back when it has been turned o.

Auto Power Down

Auto Power Down determines the amount of time before the IQ1 back shuts

down, when there is no activity. Choose 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2

hours or deactivate this function by selecting O.

Press the Power button to switch on and restart the IQ1 back after it has shut

down.
