• We’ve always strived to offer our customers the ultimatephotographic flexibility. We were the first to offer Full FrameMedium Format CCD systems and now we’re proud to be the firstto offer a Full Frame Medium Format CMOS solution. The PhaseOne XF 100MP Camera System offers the same great advantagesof full frame usability with the added benefits of CMOS. No lenscrop factors, no focus screen masks, just uncompromised imagequality from edge to edge.
• At Phase One professional color management has always been anessential part of ensuring our customers get the ultimate imagequality they demand. Phase One’s own Image Professor, Niels V.Knudsen and his team have worked for decades perfecting thecolor response of Phase One hardware, ensuring accurate colorsare delivered while maintaining customized, pleasing and dynamicfile render is emphasized. The Phase One Color is not just ascience but a passion that runs deep at Phase One and a essentialpart of what makes our customers stand out.
• For quite some time Digital Photography has surpassed analoguefilms in terms of resolution, ISO and Dynamic Range, but often atthe sacrifice of one feature for another. Manufactures andengineers continue to strive towards reproducing the texturesand tonal feel inherent to analogue photography whilemaintaining all possible benefits of digital photography. At PhaseOne this pursuit has always been central to what defines ultimate
image quality. With the introduction of 16-bit Color Depth,coupled with CMOS ISO flexibility, the XF 100MP delivers a natural texture and tonal feel never before seen in digital camera system.
For photographers striving for perfection, 16-bit Color isan essential addition to the versatility and resolution of the XF100MP Camera System
• The Phase One XF 100MP Camera System delivers an unparalleled15 stops of dynamic range, retaining unmatched detail in bothhighlights and shadows. This is the highest performing system interms of dynamic range that the Medium Format world has tooffer. The Phase One XF 100MP Camera System is engineered toprovide the detail and unmatched quality, demanded by theworlds leading photographers.
• By combining new sensor technology and years of experience innoise suppression through Capture One software, the Phase OneXF 100MP ISO range delivers unparalleled creative freedom andperformance in all shooting conditions. With a previouslyunthinkable base ISO of 50, the Phase One XF 100MP delivers theflexibility of longer exposures and unrestricted use of fast lenses,all while providing the cleanest possible results. Expanding onCMOS technology, the XF 100MP can offer higher ISO versatilityand , with Capture One software, retain excellent noisesuppression and file render.
• The new XF 100MP System delivers extreme long exposures of upto 60 minutes in full 100MP resolution. The IQ3 100MP is yet againthe first of its kind to offer such flexibility in a creative tool. Withno compromise in ISO flexibility and exposure limitation, allavailable on a full frame CMOS sensor, the possibilities for topphotographers are endless.
• Our hardware and software teams are working closely together todeliver unrivalled image quality, fast and efficient workflows, aswell as superior creative tools. With the XF 100MP CameraSystem, we have created a new file format to facilitate the 16-bitpower of the 100MP CMOS Camera System. This 16-bit format,exclusive to Phase One, will offer unprecedented image quality tocompliment unparalleled speed for your day-to-day workflow.The elegant relationship between Camera System and CaptureOne has never been so harmonious.
• Phase One and Sony have been development partners for years,the 50MP sensor being the first milestone of our cooperation, nowfound in the XF IQ3 50MP. Creating the full frame sibling to the50MP CMOS system has been a top priority of Phase One foryears. We’re proud to now deliver a solution that achieves theimage quality requirements Phase One customers expect, all whileproviding the performance advantages inherent to 100MP CMOSsensor technology. Phase One sensor experts have been workinghard to optimize the complete use of the 100MP sensor for theworlds most demanding photographers.
• The Phase One XF 100MP Camera System comes equipped with aflexible and upgradable camera operating system. The OneTouchUI allows the user to customize the controls and interface of theXF Camera System. The OneTouch UI allows for easy upgradesand add-on features to ensure you get the full potential out of thenew 100MP sensor.
• With the XF 100MP Camera System, we are introducing a new fileformat custom built for the 100MP CMOS sensor, the “IIQ L 16bit”.While we have always delivered 16-bit color depth with CCDbased systems, the 100MP is the first CMOS sensor to deliver true16-bit output captured directly from the chip. To enable thisfunctionality, IIQ L 16bit is the first dedicated file format to deliverefficient and precise 16-bit CMOS based images.
• Interpreting 16-bit color is not only science, it’s a delicate balanceof thousands of parameters meticulously evaluated andorchestrated in both hardware as well as software, all to deliverbreathtaking results. We have spent decades of softwaredevelopment to create custom color algorithms in Capture OnePRO. The XF 100MP Camera System is born into this legacy andwill be the first and only 100MP Capture One PRO performer,ready from day one.
• The Phase One XF 100MP Camera System will be capable ofcapturing in both 14-bit and 16-bit color modes, depending on thedemand and workflow requirements of the photographer. Insituations where a faster workflow and smaller file size ispreferred the option to capture in 14bit, while retaining fullresolution, is simply a setting away. Where increased speed andfurther file size compression is a priority, turning on the IIQ smartcompression format (IIQ s) is always an option.
• With the Phase One XF 100MP Camera System there are threeuser selectable formats: IIQ L-16bit, IIQ L and IIQ s. Both IIQ L-16bit and IIQ L are lossless compression formats, capturing 100MPresolution in 16-bit and 14-bit color depth respectively. The IIQ sformat is exclusively developed, and has been optimized by PhaseOne for more than a decade. Image data is analyzed on the fly toprovide 33% to 25% file compression sizes while retaining fullresolution and impeccable image quality at a near lossless, 14-bit,compression. With the launch of the XF 100MP Camera System,we are proud to report the IIQ s file format has been refactored toprovide results that are even better than before.
• One of the main advantages of CMOS technology is the stunningsensor read-out speed. One benefit from this read-out speed isfast and fluid Live View enabling simple, clear and precise focus inreal-time as well as immediate reference for dynamiccomposition. With Phase One XF Medium Format CameraSystems and high-resolution imaging, focus can be critical andLive View can ensure consistent success.
• With the large, high-resolution touch screen of the XF 100MPCamera System, Live View can be displayed in all its beautydirectly on the system. Double-tap on the display to zoom to100% and adjust focus with immediate visual feedback. With thePhase One XF 100MP Camera System it is easy to achieve perfectfocus, even in the most demanding conditions.
• Fluid Live View is measured in frames per second, and at 30FPSeverything looks perfectly smooth. The processing in the XF100MP Camera System is fast enough to provide high qualityimagery in real-time utilizing high frame rates. With the XF100MP Camera System, latency is virtually non-existent.
• With the Phase One XF 100MP Camera System delivering aconsistent high-quality Live View feed, it is possible to output thefeed through Wi-Fi, USB or the newly added HDMI output port.Whether you are shooting tethered to a computer, connected toCapture Pilot via Wi-Fi, or attach a field monitor using the newHDMI port, you can use Live View to efficiently elevate theprecision of your focus and composition. HDMI output createssubstantial opportunities for your workflow, be it onset to anexternal display or in the field for a more robust Live Viewexperience, the HDMI output provides you with composition toolsand a workflow that works for you.
• CMOS sensor technology allows for an unmatched Live Viewexperience. With the IQ3 50MP, and now the IQ3 100MP, LiveView is greatly improved with the ability to capture during LiveView operation. Whether you are using Live View on the digitalback itself or through Capture One Pro, a simple click of theshutter will capture your image at full resolution just as you areseeing it in real-time. Once the image is captured, you’llseamlessly return to live view to continue your required workflow.
