Shooting Tethered
As a professional tool for working photographers, the IQ Digital Back can be
tethered to a Mac or PC running Capture One Pro raw workflow solution. In
addition to being able to select and control a wide range of camera functions
including exposure, focus confirmation and Live View, images can be saved to
the computer’s hard disk as well as the camera’s CF-card, as a back-up.
Connecting to a Computer
The IQ Digital Back can be tethered to a computer using either FireWire 800
(IEEE 1394b) or USB 3.0 interface cables. (Note the IQ3 100MP series Digital
Backs and the 50-megapixel IQ backs with CMOS sensors only support Live
View tethering using USB 3.0.)
Online Support
For more information on shooting tethered with Capture One please consult

Tethered Capture (FireWire / USB 3.0)
To connect to a computer running Capture One, insert the supplied FireWire
800 or USB 3.0 interface cable. The ports on the IQ Digital Back are protected
behind hinged covers. When connected, the camera will spontaneously power-
up and the settings will be automatically shared with Capture One.
The display on an IQ Digital Back can be either turned o while shooting
tethered, or set to display the images during capture (from the Camera
Settings tool (Digital Back) in Capture One or the IQ menu, select Auto
Preview Mode > O / On), as if shooting untethered. It is also possible to
enlarge a section of an image on the IQ screen to help check focus.
Capture One Tethered Use
NOTES:
The IQ Digital Back is compatible with the
FireWire standard which specifies cables up to
4.5 meter and USB standard which specifies
cables up to 3 meters in length. Longer cables
are possible, but may require a third party
power solution or a powered hub. Please ask
your local partner for advice on this.
The IQ Digital Back can draw power and
charge the batteries in the system from the
computer’s ports via the interface cable. Not
all computers can supply power by the data-
bus, this is especially true of PC laptops with
IEEE 1394 ports, and some USB ports.
A battery must be installed in the IQ Digital
Back for it to function properly, regardless of
whether it is exhausted or not. If it is flat and
the data-bus is powered, the battery will start
to be charged.
