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 IQ 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 IQ 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 IQ back is positioned in a landscape orientation.
However, the IQ 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.
