Digital Back Mamiya ZD Back
By replacing the magazine to the Mamiya ZD Back, the Mamiya 645ADF, Mamiya 645ADF II , and Mamiya RZ67PRO IID can be used as digital cameras. MEMO

* Minor adjustments can be made to the color temperature from Auto to Flash. * The display mark will be displayed in the sequence listed in the above chart.
1. Press the WB button. The white balance indicator appears on the digital LCD panel.
2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to display the white balance indicator you want to set.
3. Press the WB button to set. The display will return to the normal screen when any button other than the [WB], [OK] or [Cancel] buttons is pressed.

Color Temperature

Light has various hues and may be reddish or bluish, for example. Reproducing such hues requires an objective gauge (scale). The color temperature describes the hue by the absolute temperature (K: kelvin). The higher the color temperature, the bluer the hue and the lower the color temperature, the redder the hue. Approximate color temperature

Redder Bluer

1 : Candlelight 2 : Oil lamp 3 : Incandescent lamp 4 : Halogen lamp 5 : White (fluorescent lamp) 6 : Daytime white (fluorescent lamp)
7 : Flash 8 : Daylight color (fluorescent lamp) 9 : Sunlight 10 : Cloudy 11 : Shade 12 : Fine weather
Minor Adjustment of White Balance You can make minor adjustments to the white balance settings for auto, daylight, cloudy, shade, electric light, fluorescent light and flash in the range of 3 decamired steps. Adjusting in the plus direction produces a reddish tinge, while adjusting in the minus direction produces a bluish tinge. 1. Press the WB button. The white balance indicator appears on CF the digital LCD panel.
2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the number of adjustment steps. When an adjustment is made, the adjustment icon +/ and number of steps appear. The number displayed with the adjustment icon indicates the number of adjustment steps. 3. Press the WB button.
Setting the Color Temperature You can set the color temperature used for the white balance by the color temperature setting (kelvin value). 1. Press the WB button on the back of SD this unit. JPEG CF CUSTOM The WB indicator appears on the LCD PC monitor. 2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the color temperature setting [ ]. 3. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the color temperature (kelvin value) you want to set. Press and hold down the toggle key to change the color temperature continuously. 4. Press the WB button. Trial Shot Check that the color temperature you have set is the correct white balance for the shooting conditions by taking a test shot using the white balance set by the color temperature setting. Mired The color temperature of the light source is expressed in kelvins (K), but it does not correspond to the color difference of the light source. A difference of 500K in the high color temperature area is very different from a difference of 500K in the low color temperature area. The mired is a measure for expressing this breadth of variation. The mired value is the reciprocal of the color temperature multiplied one million times.

2. Press the toggle keys to select the film speed. The display will return to the normal screen when any button other than the [ISO], [OK] or [Cancel] buttons are pressed. 3. Press the ISO button to set. You can also press any button other than the toggle key
Selecting a high ISO sensitivity will result in greater noise, such as color noise or graininess. Taking pictures with a high film speed under long exposure conditions will produce more noise, such as color noise. More noise may appear in images when a high film speed is used in a high temperature environment. Use of the noise reduction function is recommended when using a film speed higher than ISO200.

Digital Terminology
Channel The images color component. On a Curve/histogram screen, there are four channels, RGB, R-ch (red), G-ch (green), B-ch (blue), and the component distribution in each channel can be adjusted. CMS Abbreviation for Color Management System. Refer to Color management system. CMYK A method of expressing color. By changing the mix ratio of Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K), all colors can be expressed. It is a method originally used in color printing. Theoretically is possible to express every color using only the three primary colors, CMY, however black is added to the three primary colors in order to facilitate clean printing of the color black. CMY are complimentary colors to RGB, and CMY is known as a subtractive color mixture method, as opposed to RGB, which is known as an additive color mixture method. Color management system A system for correcting any discrepancy in the color space depending on the output device and ensuring the same color is reproduced for the same data. Typical examples are Macintoshs ColorSync and Windows ICM. Color space This refers to the area where color can be displayed. Color space varies depending on the output device. To match the colors from input through to output it is necessary to correct and manage the different color spaces of each device and then match the colors reproduced (color management).
Compression The process of reducing the size of a file using a predetermined method. Conversely, the process of restoring compressed data is known variously as, decoding, unpacking, expansion, decompression, or extraction. Compression is necessary for saving or transmitting full color high resolution image data as the file sizes become large. There are two types of compression method: Reversible compression, in which the image quality is not lost, and non-reversible compression, in which the compression ratio can be dramatically increased in return for allowing a certain amount of loss of image quality. Crop Selecting a range to be outputted in the case where only part of the file is to be outputted rather than the whole file. Crop is also used to denote the selected range. FireWire This is the nick name of the IEEE1394 standard, which is a transmission mode/protocol that connects a computer and a peripheral device. Refer to IEEE1394. Gamma value The ratio of the change in image brightness and output voltage. Where the gamma value is greater than 1, the image is darker than at the time of input, and in the case of a gamma value less than 1, the image is brighter than at the time of input. Gradation The degree of fineness refers to the slight changing gradation of color. It is expressed in units of n bits, or n gradations. The higher the number of gradations, the smoother the expression of color. Histogram A distribution graph of the images luminance. The horizontal axis represents the level luminance, and the vertical axis represents the occurrence rate of each level luminance.

RGB A method of expressing color. Colors are expressed by overlaying and combining the three colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B). These three colors are called the three primary colors of light, and by overlaying and combining them, every color can be expressed. Like light, the image becomes brighter as more colors are overlaid and combined, (if red, green and blue are all combined at 100%, they become white), so this method is known as the additive color mixture method. TIFF An abbreviation for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF is an image data format developed by Aldus and Microsoft. It is able to organize and store the data of a single image into a single file with various different resolution, encoding systems and number of colors. During compression, non-quality loss systems (irreversible compression) such as LZW or pack bit can be selected. Thumbnail An image that has been compressed in order to display a number of such images together in a list format. Originally this comes from the words thumb and nail. In this software, thumbnails are displayed when the imported images are displayed in list format on the thumbnail screen. Threshold value The boundary limit where some photographic processes do not work. For example, the UnSharp Mask process defines the applicable criteria of whether or not an edge is added. Tone Curve When the shape of a curve is changed, the relationship between the input (original image color) and output (image color after adjustment) changes, and the brightness and contrast within a certain gradation range can be finely adjusted. Unsharp mask One of the sharpness processes, when unsharp mask is applied the color and brightness of outline parts is accentuated.

2008/09/23 News Release Mamiya Digital Imaging Co., Ltd Planning and Marketing Department
Mamiya ZD Back Double Buffer
We are pleased to announce the next model of our digital back, the Mamiya ZD Back Double Buffer, which will be on display at Photokina 2008. We believe that great products have the potential to become even better. For this reason, the R&D team at Mamiya has developed the next model of the ZD Back Double Buffer which has twice the buffer memory and continuous shooting of up to 22 frames. Our technicians have made modifications so it is now compatible with SDHC cards, giving users an extra choice to SD, SDHC, CF I and CF II cards. We have worked to allow for 35 custom function options to be displayed on the main LCD when used with our 645AFDIII. We also believe though, that the best neednt be changed. Still boasting a 2.13 mega pixel Dalsa CCD sensor, the ZD Back Double Buffer allows our renowned medium format cameras Mamiya 645AFDII, Mamiya 645AFDIII, RZ67Pro-IID and RB67Pro-SD to take razor-sharp digital images, making this product a key addition to your existing Mamiya equipment. With Mamiya Remote Capture software, of which a beta version will soon be downloadable from our homepage, shooting tethered with the Mamiya ZD Back Double Buffer will also become easier. The new model ZD Back will be the choice of those in the know.

Mamiya Remote Capture Mamiya Remote Capture can be used with the Mamiya ZD or Mamiya ZD Back via the IEEE1394 cable as a means to shoot in tethered mode. As software from other parties such as Phase Ones Capture One 4.1 can be used to develop Mamiyas raw data, Mamiya Remote Capture allows for images to be saved directly to a computer so the user can process images with their own choice of software. Mamiya Remote Capture also provides seamless shooting and control of the camera/back via the computer keyboard or mouse, or by controls on the camera body. The Mamiya Remote Capture beta version will be launched on the 16th of September 2008, and will be easily downloaded from our homepage. http://www.mamiya.co.jp/
