Fast, prerecorded Black Reference Frame
The new Prerecorded option for Black Reference Frame recording on the IQ4
150MP will provide a faster capture. The option is a parameterized,
prerecorded method, thus removing the need for the black reference frame
recording that is normally needed after each new image capture.
The option is particularly useful when shooting with the Electronic Shutter
with technical cameras. Recording a black reference frame cannot be done
fully automatically with technical cameras, since the IQ4 has no way of
determining whether light is hitting the sensor or not. The new Prerecorded
option will here lead to a much faster workflow.
Note that since the Prerecorded option is not based on your currently used
camera settings and lighting conditions, it may not provide quite the same
level of noise reduction at the pixel level as the traditionally recorded black
reference frame.
It is currently not recommended to use the option for shutter speeds longer
than 1/10 second.
You enable it by going to the menu and selecting
File Settings > Black Ref. >
Prerecorded
. It is only available on IQ4 150MP models, not on the 100MP
Trichromatic.
Setting image orientation
You can change the image orientation if the default setting doesn’t work with
the shooting view alignment. This can be useful if the XF IQ4 Camera System
is pointing downwards or upwards, for example, and the images appear
rotated the wrong way.
Go to the IQ4 Menu and select
File Settings > Orientation
and select the
desired rotation.
Enter your Copyright information
You can enter your copyright information in order to save this as metadata in
the files.
Go to the IQ4 Menu and select
File Settings > Copyright
. Then enter your
copyright information and tap on the green checkmark to accept.
Saving a jpeg version
You can save a jpeg version on the SD card in addition to the RAW file version
saved on the XQD card. This is done on the IQ4 by selecting
IQ4 Menu >
Storage Setup > SD Storage > JPEG Only
.
Note that the IQ4 will need to save a RAW file to the XQD card to create the
JPEG version from; it is not possible to only save a JPEG version of the
captured image.
