Phase One has announced its first IQ4 Infinity Platform enhancement with redefined Raw capture functionality and new features to boost creative control.
RAW PROCESSING
The new Automated Frame Averaging function of the IQ4 Camera System combines multiple sensor readouts to reduce noise, strengthen dynamic range and protect highlights. And this all occurs efficiently during the capture process.
"With Automated Frame Averaging, Phase One have adapted and further developed advances in technology, pushing the envelope of what's possible to achieve in a camera system." said professional landscape photographer Paul Reiffer. "In doing so, yet again, they've pushed the industry forward while investing in our development as photographers along with the art of photography itself."
CREATIVE CONTROL ENHANCEMENT
The new Creative Control Enhancement for IQ4 Camera Systems offers more features and functionality to streamline and advance workflow. Capture One Inside now lets you load your own custom styles into the IQ4, so captured images immediately reflect your own vision and style for a shoot.
"My style is central to my art," said fine art photographer Gemmy Woud Binnendijk. "With the XF IQ4 Camera System and Capture One Inside, I am able to advance my creativity in the capture process. For me, the Phase One Camera System becomes central to my entire photographic process and not just a singular step."
PRICE, AVAILABILITY
Phase One said the Creative Control package will be available for download in early July free of charge for all IQ4 Camera System owners.
The Infinity Platform is available within the IQ4 product portfolio, which includes the IQ4 150-megapixel Digital Back, IQ4 150-Mp Achromatic Digital Back and IQ4 100-Mp Trichromatic Digital Back. All are available now, individually or as part of an XF Camera System, through Phase One partners.
