Phase One IQ4-150: Built to Last (a long time)

Posted on 2018/11/05 6:31 PM by Steve Hendrix

DO YOU LIKE UPGRADES? How do we buy cameras today? How do manufacturers sustain a camera business? The answer is we always look to the next. What we have is great, but how can it be better? And this propels the purchase of new cameras. It sustains camera companies, and inspires photographers. That’s a nice way of looking at it, I suppose. What are we used to? We’re used to taking … Read More →

IQ4-150: The BEST digital back EVER for Technical Camera use

Posted on 2018/11/05 5:05 PM by Brad Kaye

Bold blog title, I know, but let me break this down, because it is that exciting. The IQ4-150 by model number alone alludes to a new pinnacle of image gathering potential, with it’s 151 megapixel sensor gathering 16-bits of color across 14.5 stops of dynamic range, but there is far more story to be told about this industry leading medium format digital back when it comes to technical camera use. … Read More →

The Bargain Phase One IQ3 100 vs IQ4 150

Posted on 2018/09/19 1:49 PM by Steve Hendrix

There is new pricing on the IQ3 100 While the IQ4 150 announcement has produced a lot of excitement around not just the 150mp BSI sensor, but many new features, lost amongst this has been the dramatic price reduction of the IQ3 100 and IQ3 100 Trichromatic models. I never thought I would consider the price of an IQ3 100 a bargain, but compared to the price of the new … Read More →

Decoding the Phase One IQ4 Announcement

Posted on 2018/08/28 6:57 AM by Dave Gallagher

This morning Phase One DK announced their new IQ4 product line. While the new Sony Backside Illuminated 151 megapixel sensor has been one of the world’s worst kept secrets, It was only a fraction of the important newly released information today. We at Capture Integration have always tried to disseminate the marketing “speak” from the real world relevance that product announcements offer. Hopefully the following detailed descriptions will help … Read More →

Phase One IQ3-100 Electronic Shutter – Triggering Options

Posted on 2018/08/06 4:54 PM by Brad Kaye

The purely electronic shutter in Phase One’s IQ3-100 digital backs allow for imaging without the use of any mechanical shutter. As explained previously, the use of the electronic shutter comes with some caveats of procedure and use, but also there are several methods of firing the electronic shutter when the IQ3-100 is connected to a manual, technical or view camera. Method 1: IQ3 User Interface This is how most users … Read More →

Dark Frame Be Gone!

Posted on 2018/07/02 10:50 AM by Brad Kaye

In order to maximize image quality and minimize noise on all Phase One digital captures, an additional dark frame of the same shutter speed duration is captured immediately after the image has been captured to record the noise print from that time of shooting and the math from that temporary image will later be subtracted from the original exposure when you view the image in Capture One. When the dark frame subtraction (DFS) … Read More →

While these camera systems have been solid workhorses in our studios and in many cases still are, we have come to the point where they will no longer be supported by Phase One repairs. Effective today, all NON + Phase One P series digital camera backs will no longer have manufacturer repair, support, or service. Capture Integration will still offer support, cleaning, firmware, and upgrade … Read More →
