3.0 Basic Functions
ISO and White Balance
The IQ back’s Home Screen enables quick access to the ISO and WB settings
by either pressing the adjacent buttons or by tapping the screen directly.
Scroll up and down, then select the setting by tapping the screen next to the
desired rating so that a green check mark appears. White Balance and ISO
settings can also be controlled from Capture One if you are working tethered.
3.1 Setting ISO
The default ISO setting is 50 for all IQ Series models. Remember that the
higher the ISO setting, the higher the degree of image noise. The camera
system together with Capture One software deliver a powerful noise
reduction performance although it is possible to still see some noise at the
higher sensitivity settings.
Push the upper right button or tap ISO on the screen on the IQ back’s Home
Screen. You will be presented with the back’s ISO spectrum. Scroll up and
down and tap the screen to select the desired setting. A green check mark
will appear next to your chosen setting.
Find out more on ISO operation on page 61.
3.2 Setting White Balance
The default ISO setting is Auto that will calculate a White Balance based on
the information in the image. Auto WB is appropriate for most applications.
Push the lower right button or tap WB on the Home Screen. You will be
presented with the back’s White Balance settings. Scroll up and down and
tap the screen to select the desired setting. A green check mark will appear
next to your chosen setting and you will automatically return to the Home
Screen.
