Reference Manual
The Phase One P+ back is designed specifically to fit on one of
several brands or models of medium format cameras.
This overview section will deal with generic features, available
in all these different models: Tethered or untethered operation,
preview display functions, menu system controls (they all have
four buttons to control the settings in the back), etc.
Certain camera specific explanations are placed in a special
section later in this manual. These can be how to attach the P+
back to the camera, how to install the focusing mask provided,
special cable connections and other considerations.
You might want to look into the camera specific section
before returning to the overview to learn about your specific
configuration needs.
Now lets take a look at the generic parts of the P+ back.
The P+ back can be operated as a fully portable
unit powered by the embedded battery and shooting to a
compact flash card or microdrive which is inserted in the CF-
card slot on the left side of the camera back.
The advantages of using it as a fully portable device are
obvious, but operating tethered has advantages too.
