18.1 Using the 2-shot Release
The IQ back can be used with mechanical shutters that can be red twice
within four seconds. The rst release of the shutter activates the digital
back; the second release is for the exposure. If the time limit of four seconds
is exceeded, the camera gives a warning ‘beep’ followed by a ‘two shoot
error’ warning that will be displayed on the LCD screen.
There are several automatic or semi-automatic two shoot solutions available
from third parties manufacturers to use with a mechanical shutter. Please ask
your dealer for more information.
18.2 Using the 1-shot Release
The 1-shot release cable is created to simplify your studio workow.
1. Connect the ash exit (circled left) on the shutter and plug the opposite
end to the multi-pin port on the IQ back. (Via Part# 50300144 From multi-
connector to mini jack female)
2. Connect a ash sync lead to the port on the IQ back.
3. Close the shutter if necessary.
4. Push the button on the 1-shot release lead to ‘wake up’ the camera back .
(circled left) and take the shot within a few seconds.
N.B. It is not possible to control the exposure or trigger the shutter from
Capture One when using a fully manual camera. Only limited EXIF data
is recorded when shooting with manual cameras. The IQ back will add a
calculated approximate shutter speed but the aperture value will not be
recorded.
