Formatting the memory cards
You can format the XQD or SD cards independently. Just go to the IQ4 menu
and select
Storage Setup > Format XQD
or
Storage Setup > Format SD
.
A warning is displayed as a safety measure, so just tap on
OK
.
If the IQ4 reports that it cannot format the XQD card, please do a reformat of
the card on your computer first.
Direct Image Transfer
The Direct Image Transfer feature will automatically copy the RAW files on the
XQD and SD cards from the IQ4 to the connected computer via Capture One
Pro. This is can be very convenient as you don’t have to use a card reader to
transfer the files and can thus save time.
To initiate the Direct Image Transfer, first start Capture One Pro on your
computer and then connect it to the IQ4 via the USB-C or Ethernet cable. The
IQ4 will now ask whether you want to copy all the RAW files on the XQD and
SD cards to the currently active
Capture
folder in Capture One Pro.
Tap on the checkmark to start the file transfer. A progress bar will be shown
on the screen. You can disable the Direct Image Transfer pop-up dialog by
enabling the
Do not ask again
option on the screen.
The Direct Image Transfer feature can be turned On and O
ff
by going to the
IQ4 Menu >
Storage Setup > Direct Image Transfer
.
If the images files are already present in the Capture folder in the computer,
Capture One Pro will automatically rename the copied files by adding a “1” to
the end of the file name so you don’t have to worry about getting any files
overwritten.
Note that the Direct Image Transfer feature basically works like any tethered
capture. This means that the
Next Capture Adjustments
tool in Capture One
controls whether the next transferred image will inherent the adjustments and
Styles from the previous image. This will happen if the
Other
drop-down menu
is set to
Copy from Last
.
If you want to ensure that each image retains their own applied Style only,
please set the
Other
drop-down menu to
Defaults
instead of
Copy from Last
.
Be aware that if SD Storage is set to O
ff
, the files on the SD card will not
be transferred. Likewise, if the SD Storage is set to Primary Storage, the
files on the XQD card will not be transferred.
Note that the IQ4 doesn’t keep a record on what files it have transferred
to the computer when it is turned o
ff
. It will therefore initiatie a new full
file transfer when you turn it on again.
