H4D
Use with
view / large format
cameras
For optimum use, the H4D sensor unit can also be used with view cameras (with the
appropriate adapter and cables).
The exposure time set on the unit sets the maximum length of exposure. The default
setting is 1/8 sec and this is the setting that can be kept for all exposures from 1/8 sec
through 1/2000sec. However, this setting should be changed in accordance with the
time required if it exceeds 1/8 sec. Times of up to 32 seconds can be set.
If you prefer, you can connect the ‘Flash sync input cable’ between the lens PC socket
and the unit which allows you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second while still being
able to use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This method also allows the use of
the B setting.
Model setting variations
When using the H4D sensor unit with a view camera you should make the appro priate
setting change accordingly. Don’t forget to change the setting again if you change
camera model!
The ve options are:
• H4D:
For automatic setting in normal H4D use.
• Schneider:
For use with view cameras and Schneider lenses.
• LensCtrlS:
For use with view cameras.
• Pinhole:
Intended primarily for use in a studio environment where complete dark-
ness can be achieved and captures made accordingly (also useful for ‘light painting’).
In this mode the H4D uses the exposure time (as well as other required stages in a
capture sequence) set in the
Capture Sequence
dialog. The back can be triggered
either via the
START
(MENU/EXIT) button or from
Phocus
.
• Flash sync:
For use with view cameras.
