Capture One Pro + Yosemite 10.10.3 update

Posted on 2015/04/14 2:43 PM by Josh Booth

To Update or Not to Update Apple recently released the 10.10.3 update for Yosemite, but you might want to wait on installing it. Yes – Capture One Pro will work with it, and (as far as we can tell) no cameras or tethering functionality were significantly dropped. However We don’t recommend updating Yosemite at this time. This is largely because of a graphical bug introduced in Capture One Pro by … Read More →

Capture Integration Exclusive: USB 3.0 Shoot-out

Posted on 2015/03/02 10:00 AM by Anthony Festa

USB 3.0 Extension Shootout With the release of the IQ series from Phase One and Credo from Mamiya Leaf, USB3 tethering was introduced. As Apple has moved away from native Firewire ports in favor of the faster USB 3.0 standard, and Thunderbolt, USB3 has been taking a stronger hold for tethered shooting. Unfortunately, spec for USB3 is 12’ and even at that, sufficient power does not exist to maintain tethered … Read More →

Cambo Actus DB – Big Changes for a Tiny View Camera

Posted on 2015/02/12 2:24 PM by Steve Hendrix

This could be considered Part 2 of – “My gosh, what has Cambo done”? If we jog our memory back to last summer, we saw the release of one of the grooviest products we’ve seen in some time, the Cambo Actus, an unbelievably small view camera for 35mm DSLR and mirrorless cameras. http://205.186.138.113/plesk-site-preview/captureintegration.com/205.186.138.113/first-look-cambo-actus/ While that tiny little view camera has been a hit with our smaller format clients, as one … Read More →

When the B1’s batteries have been fully charged to 100%, the the indicator on the back of the flash itself will only read 2/3s full.

Copal Shutter Repairs On The Rise – Updated

Posted on 2015/01/28 1:45 PM by Steve Hendrix

A must read if you use a Technical Camera or View Camera. This is a re-print/re-edit from an article we posted back in 2010 regarding Copal Shutter repairs, and the recent increase we had seen in the occurrence of those repairs. Since shutter repairs can be expensive, and the original article was posted 4 years ago, I felt it would be a good idea to refresh it and bring it … Read More →

Best Long Exposure results with Phase One & Leaf

Posted on 2015/01/19 1:14 PM by Steve Hendrix

On occasion, I get asked by clients for recommendations on shooting long exposures with a CCD-based Phase One or Leaf digital back purchased from CI. There are, of course, a number of different ways one can achieve a long exposure. All digital backs have options for ISO selection in camera, typically ISO 50, 100, 200, 400, 800. In a typical city-scape night scene, an exposure at f/11 @ ISO 50 … Read More →
