4.7 Secure Storage System (3S)
You can always be sure that your data is safe when working with memory
cards in a Phase One IQ2 back. The Phase One Secure Storage System (3S)
provides the industry’s safest memory card handling. The 3S technology
automatically checks your card’s le structure every time it is inserted into
the IQ2 back. If the disk check function nds any errors, it will prevent usage
of the card until these are corrected or the card is formatted.
How does 3S work?
A complete disk check for a valid le structure is performed as soon as a card
is inserted into the IQ2 back.
Lower gigabyte capacity cards will load quicker than high capacity versions.
It is not recommended to turn o the Check Disk function. If you want to turn
it o go to Menu>Check Disk.
Disk Check Summary
3S technology is a safe storage system integrated into the IQ2 back and is
much more rugged than anything else seen in the industry. No other digital
back or DSLR camera has this level of storage security.
Benets include:
• There is no need to format a card on a computer
• Damaged or incorrectly formatted cards will be detected immediately. IQ2
backs also have the ability to reformat and correct these cards.
• Ejecting a card while it is writing a session will not necessarily damage the
le structure of the entire CompactFlash card. Only the image being written
and the images in the buer can be damaged.
