IMAGE ORIENTATION
Sets the viewing orientation of captures when they appear in Phocus. In or-
der to avoid unintentional orientation changes when the camera is pointing

OPTIONS: Auto, Lock at 0 degrees, Lock at 90 degrees, Lock at 180 degrees and
Lock at 270 degrees.
• Show Preview
SENSOR UNIT MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > SHOW PREVIEW
Sets whether the display remains inactive after each capture. Useful in sensitive
environments or when shooting vertically.

SENSOR UNIT MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > ANIMATIONS
‘On’ produces ‘soft’ previews on the display, allowing images to move smooth-
ly to the left as well as smooth zooming. ‘Off’ produces direct changes.

• Mark overexposure
SENSOR UNIT MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > MARK OVEREXP.:
Provides an overexposure indicator showing precisely which areas of a cap-
ture are overexposed (i.e., pixels that are at maximum brightness, causing loss
of detail). When enabled, the overexposure indicator flashes the overexposed
pixels from black to white.
OPTIONS: On, Off

SENSOR UNIT AND VIEW / LARGE FORMAT CAMERAS
For optimum use, the H5D 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. Note that the
Camera
entry on the menu remains dimmed and is inaccessible when the sensor unit
is attached to the H5D body.
