The Micro HDMI socket is hidden behind the CF Door
NOTE:
To output Live View to an external monitor, please connect
the supplied HDMI adapter cable to the Micro HDMI socket
located under the CF-Card door.
The HDMI adapter cable will adapt to any standard HDMI
male to male extension cable.
Because of the limited space around the socket we choose to
include this cable - should you want to replace with another
standard Micro HDMI cable, then please note that not all
connectors will fit due to the limited space sorounding the
connector.

Live View

Live View on the LCD, Capture One or HDMI monitor

All IQ Digital Backs are capable of displaying a Live View on the rear touch
screen. It is a very effective method for capturing still subjects. Using a tripod
is recommended to prevent blurred images. The preview image is displayed at
the selected Aperture, and the Aperture value may be changed by the user
during previewing to observe the effect on the depth of field. Exposure is not
simulated in order to make the screen easier to see, and so the exposure
compensation function is disabled.
Note, due to the faster refresh rates, the quality of the Live View image
displayed on an IQ Digital Back with a CMOS sensor is superior to that from a
CCD.
All IQ Digital Backs support tethered Live View using FireWire 800 or USB 3.0,
except for the 100MP and 50MP IQ Digital Backs which offer Live View with
USB 3.0 only.
IQ3 100MP have an additional live view output option to an external monitor
or screen via HDMI. The HDMI output connector is located behind the CF-port
door on the right hand side of the IQ3 100MP. (HDMI output is described on
next page)
Live View on the IQ Touch Screen
From the IQ Home screen, touch the context menu icon in the lower right
corner of the display. The contextual menu pop-up is displayed. Touch the
Movie-camera icon to initiate Live View. The XF camera body opens the
shutter and a live preview (Live view image) is displayed on the rear screen.
Focus in Live View using the IQ Touch Screen
AF is not available during Live View. Select Manual Focus (MF) from the Lens
Selector Ring and focus on the subject using the Live View image.
Touch the screen and the display will enter Full Screen mode. The live preview
can be zoomed to check focus. The Zoom alider appears when touching the
left side of the screen in full screen view. To zoom in an image in full screen,
slide your fingertip upward on the Zoom slider. To zoom back out, slide your
fingertip down on the slider. To make a quick zoom to 100%, double-tap on the
area of interest. To examine other areas of the preview, the image may be
dragged with your fingertip. Double-tap the screen to return the full screen
display. To exit live view, press the upper left key of the IQ Digital Back.
Image Capture in Live View
Follow the steps outlined above to enable Live View and confirm focus. Select
the Low VIbration mode or enable the Single (or Continuous) Drive modes
and use a cable release to prevent vibration in the images.
Once you are ready to capture press the shutter release button on either the
cable release or on the camera.
Capturing from within Live View will have a litlle longer latency than normal,
since the camera have to step out of Live View, and close the shutter before
an actual capture can take place.
Once the image is captured the camera will show the image for a short while,
and then step back into Live VIew. The display time can be setup in
Menu>Preview in LiveView.
