12 Software Set-up

At this point it may be a good idea to set up Photoshop and the system
for Color Management. A brief guide to Color Management and Profiles
is provided in the Tools or Preferences section of this manual.

Taking Photographs

The Phase One H 5 is designed for ease of use and high performance.
First time digital photographers, as well as experienced digital
photographers, can immediately begin taking images of excellent quality.
The Phase One H 5 can capture one image every 1.5 seconds.
The camera makes a small “beep” when it is ready to capture the next
image. If an attempt is made to shoot too quickly the camera will still
respond, but images will not be recorded.

Selecting Landscape or Portrait Orientation

The Phase One H 5 can be mounted on a wide range of professional
medium format cameras, technical cameras (also referred to as view cam-
eras) and other camera systems where image orientation is not automati-
cally detected. Here camera orientation must be determined manually in
the Capture One Software. Select the desired camera orientation in the
Preferences dialogue box. Images will automatically be rotated to
landscape or portrait orientation.

Organizing Images

Creating folders to hold captures and choosing session names, before
or during shooting, will save time during the processing stage.

If, for instance, there is a photo session of a model with three different
colored outfits, three separate session folders can be created in advance.
When shooting, just select one of the three folders for image storage.
Organizing files as you are shooting will save time later when you want
to print a contact sheet or archive files.
