FileFormat
In "FileFormat" you can select two options "IIQ Raw L"
and "IIQ Raw S".
"IIQ Raw" is a short term for Intelligent Image Quality
Raw.
"IIQ Raw L" is default and
is the absolutely loss less
capture format of the P
back.
"IIQ Raw S" is a smaller
file, and not totally loss
less in the format. The
"IIQ Raw L" fills up ap-
proximately half file size
of the processed TIFF file,
whereas the "IIQ Raw S" is only approximately one
third of the processed TIFF. Yet the "IIQ Raw S" is still
maintaining a quality that is hard to visually differ from
the "IIQ Raw L".
Shutter
Shutter refers to the shutter of the camera the P back
resides on.
Due to the sleeping ar-
chitecture of the P back,
where the CCD is put to
sleep to reduce power
consumption, the P back
needs to wake up before
shooting. The timing of
this wake up signal is re-
ferred to as the latency.
