IQ Back and mechanical shutters
The IQ back can be used with mechanical shutters that can be
fired twice within four seconds. The first release of the shutter ac-
tivates the IQ back (wake up signal); 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’.
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.
Typical use of 2-shot release
1. Connect a two shot cable to the multi-pin port on the IQ
back, connect the other end of the cable to the flash sync
port of the mechanical lens. If flash is required, connect a
flash sync lead to the the IQ back.
2. Close the shutter if necessary.
3. Push the trigger on the shutter slowly down - The two
shoot cable will ready (wake-up) the IQ back and the take
a shot when it is pushed all the way down.
4. Adaptors for technical camera are available from most
camera vendors.
Electronic shutters
Several vendors make automatic lens controls that are com-
patible with the IQ backs - Please ask your dealer for more
information.
