When the desired total exposure time is reached, the final RAW file is saved on
the memory card, ready to use in Capture One.
The IQ4 will append a note in the IPTC – Description metadata field to each
RAW file so that you can find and dierentiate the Automatic Frame
Averaging files in Capture One Pro. It will note the Total Time and label the
RAW file as a Automated Frame Average.
It is important to ensure that no highlights are burned-out when you
establish the proper exposure. Specular highlights in for example
waterfalls can introduce purple fringing which will be amplified by the
additive nature of the feature. In these circumstances it is recommended
to underexposure the image and then lift the shadows in Capture One
after the fact. This workflow will work out very nicely because the
Automatic Frame Averaging files are extremely clean and noise free.
