Charging the batteries
When working untethered, the standard power source of the XT Camera
System is the 7.2 V (3400 mAh) BP-911/914/915 type rechargeable Li-ion
battery.
To maximize battery performance, charge the battery before use with the
supplied Pro Cube 2 charger. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours are required to fully
charge exhausted batteries.
1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the charger and insert the
batteries into the charger slots. If charging only one battery, either slot
can be used.
2. The charge indicator will blink and display the battery’s approximate
capacity as a percentage.
3. Charging is complete when the charge indicator stops blinking and the
capacity level displays “100%”.
4. Remove the batteries and unplug the cable from the charger.
The Pro Cube 2 will display how much the batteries have been charged in mAh
since the charging session started. This can be useful if you are in a hurry and
know from experience that a particular amount of mAh is enough to get you
100 captures, for example. The three dots over a battery icon indicates on the
display which one is currently being measured.
Battery information
The XT Camera System uses a 7.2 V (3400 mAh) BP-911, 914, 915 type
rechargeable Li-ion battery and IQ4 requires the battery to be loaded prior to
use, even when shooting tethered to a computer using a bus-powered
interface cable (Gigabit Ethernet or USB-C).
Charging a device by USB
The XT Pro Cube 2 can also be used to charge a device like a smartphone by
connecting it to the USB port on the charger. The display will show USB when
doing so. Note that the Pro Cube 2 will charge any inserted Li-ion batteries
fully before starting to charge the attached device over USB.

General advice for the battery and charger
Charge the batteries before use
Batteries discharge when not in use. For optimum performance, charge the
batteries before using the XT Camera.
Charge the batteries indoors
Only charge the batteries indoors (and away from moisture) at ambient
temperatures between 5–35 Celsius (41-95 Fahrenheit).
Remove batteries when not in use
Never leave the battery in the charger for an extensive period of time. When
charging is complete, remove the battery and unplug the charger from power
outlet. When the battery is left in the XT Camera a small amount of current is
drawn, resulting in accelerated discharge and shorter battery life. Remove the
batteries when not in use.
Only use approved batteries
Use only 7.2 V BP-915 type batteries. Capacity in excess of 3300 mAh is
recommended. Some third party batteries may not fit into the IQ4’s battery
compartment, due to dierences in the manufacturing tolerances. Do not try
to force a battery into the compartment. When pressing the battery release
button it should slide out without being hindered. If a battery can’t be
removed, levering the battery out may cause damage. Please contact your
Phase One dealer for advice.
Dirt and fingerprints on battery terminals may cause loose connection and
corrosion. Clean the contacts with a soft-cloth before loading the batteries.
Shooting tethered
Always keep a battery in the IQ4 when shooting tethered to a computer via a
Gigabit Ethernet or USB-C connection. Please read the Power Connections
chapter for more information.
Use in foreign countries
The AC power adapter is supplied with several power plug adaptors for
international use. The power adaptor is compatible with 110 to 250 V AC
(50/60 Hz) power sources.
Only use the original power adapter or 12 V DC car adapter (supplied)
It is not recommended to use a portable voltage transformer with the battery
charger. Battery charging from a car’s 12 V electrical socket is possible but the
car battery will discharge if the engine is not running.
Powering the XT Camera System On and O
Powering up the XT Camera is achieved with a short press of the On/O but-
ton on the back of the IQ4. A long press of the same button will power o the
XT.
NOTE:
In low temperatures, keep spare batteries
close to body temperature by storing
in an inside jacket pocket. Li-Ion type
batteries tend to lose eciency under
cold conditions.
NOTE:
There can be a low number of shutter actuations reported on a brand new XT Camera
Body. This is normal behavior as the shutter mechanism has been tested during final
quality check procedures. The shutter count on a new XT Camera Body should never
exceed 99.

Setting Date, Time and Language
Setting the Date and Time on the IQ4
Date and time are set and controlled via the IQ4’s menu. When the IQ4 is
initially shipped from factory, or If the IQ4 has been without power for a long
period of time, it will automatically prompt you to set the time and date. Touch
the screen and scroll through the numbers to attain the appropriate date and
time. The time and date is applied to the EXIF data in all files captured with
the IQ4. You can change this later in the Menu under IQ Settings > Date and
Time.
Setting Language on the IQ4
The XT Camera System is delivered with the language set to English by default.
Follow the steps below to change the language of the IQ4 to one of eight
others available, including German, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese
(simplified), Swedish, Italian and Spanish.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the IQ4 Menu icon.
Navigate to the Language menu item and select the preferred language option.
Each choice is displayed using the native language, with English noted in
parentheses.
Note: If you choose a language by mistake, and can no longer read the menu,
look for the menu item with (L) in it.
Security Code Protection
Access to the IQ4 can be protected by a four-digit security code that you will
have to enter on the touch screen after it has been turned on.
The security code protection is a safety measure to ensure that other people
cannot gain access to the IQ4 without your consent. This is of particularly
importance since IQ4 can provide wireless access over a network that other
people might have access to.
You can setup the security code as well as the level of protection by selecting
Menu > Security Settings on the IQ4. Please see the Security Settings chapter
later for full details.
Ready for Capture Beep
You can control whether you would like to get a sound beep from the camera
system whenever it is ready to capture the next image. It is on by default. This
is useful under a busy shot where you need to concentrate on your subject at
hand instead of checking to Capture Ready icon in the Status Bar on the
screen.
This is set by going to the IQ4 Menu and selecting IQ Settings > Ready Beep.
You have three options:
• None (O)
• Single (one beep)
• Multi (longer beep)

Removing the SD card
Installing XQD and SD cards
Using memory cards
The Phase One IQ4 supports both XQD and SD memory cards. Phase One
recommends that you use the supplied Sony XQD G Series 64 GB card or a
similar card with the same 400 MB/s write speed rating for optimal
performance.
If you plan on saving raw files to the SD card, use the supplied Sony SDXC
UHS-II G Series 64GB card. Otherwise, it is recommended to use SD card that
has a write speed of at least 100 MB/s and is marked with speed class U3.
Note: While the XQD card slot in the IQ4 is compatible with CFexpress cards
from a mechanical stand point, CFexpress cards are not supported yet. A
future firmware upgrade for IQ4 is planned to add support for CFexpress
cards.
Installing an XQD card
When inserting the XQD card into its media storage slot in the IQ4, make sure
that the labeling side on the card is facing towards the front of the back so
that the small triangles on the XQD card and the IQ4 XQD slot align. Slide it
straight into the slot until it clicks into place. If resistance is felt, stop
immediately, and check whether the card is oriented correctly.
Installing a SD card
Position the SD card so the label is facing towards the screen on the IQ4 and
slide it straight into the SD marked-slot until it clicks into place. You will need
to push the SD card into the port until it is recessed about 1 mm to ensure it
locks into place. You will hear a click once that point has been reached. If
resistance is felt, stop immediately, and check whether the card is oriented
correctly.
Removing an XQD card
Before removing the XQD card, confirm that the memory card access light is
o. Then press the card in with a finger to release it. The memory card pops
out and can be removed by using two fingertips.
Removing a SD card
Before removing the SD card, confirm that the memory card access light is o.
Then press the card in and let it go. The inserted SD card needs to be pushed
about 1 mm into the port before it will release. Use a small plate or a finger nail
to do so. The memory card will now be released, and you can remove it with
your fingertips.
Selecting cards for storage
You can choose to store the captured raw files on either the XQD or the SD
card. You also have the option to save a raw version to XQD and a jpeg version
to SD. It will be explained in a later chapter how to set this up.
Shutter Half Press
You can decide what the XT Camera System should do when half pressing the
Shutter Button on the XT Camera.
It is possible to either active Live View on the screen, to turn the display on or
to disable any action. This is set by entering the IQ4 Menu and selecting XT
Menu > Shutter Half Press > and choosing one of the options.

LED Lights
The IQ4 feature two main LEDs located below the bottom left corner of the
screen.
A Blue LED will show when you power the IQ4 on. Two Red LEDs indicates
that the back is going through the boot up procedure.
When capturing an image the Green LED will blink rapidly to indicate that the
IQ4 is busy and that there are images in the buer that needs to be cleared to
the XQD card, the SD card and/or the local storage.
A Red LED indicates that the IQ4 is writing to the storage media, and
therefore the buer has not been emptied.
Restoring the defaults
The IQ4 is supplied preconfigured with a number of default settings ready for
use, either when purchased by itself, or with the XT.
After adjustment of these settings, you can restore the back to the factory
defaults from the back’s screen by pressing Menu > System Settings >

XT Camera System
– Getting Started
The XT Camera System is controlled from the touch screen on the IQ4 with
regards to exposure, storage and file settings while the Shift functionality and
the Shutter button is found on the XT Camera Body. Finally, focus is adjusted
manually on the XT Lens. This chapter will give a quick overview on how to get
started while the succeeding chapters will explain all the functionality and
options in detail.
Turning the XT System On and O
The XT System is turned on and o by pressing the power button on the IQ4.
The battery in the IQ4 supplies power to both the XT Camera Body and the
XT Lens with the integrated shutter.
Any power source connected to the IQ4 - like USB-C, Power over Ethernet or
an external power supply – will also feed the whole XT System. To turn the XT
Camera System o, press and hold the power button on the IQ4 for 2 seconds.
Setting the Exposure
The Exposure settings are controlled on the IQ4 start screen - called Camera
Controls – were you can set the desired Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO
value. The chosen Shutter Speed and Aperture will automatically control the
shutter and aperture that are fully integrated into the XT Lens.
The exposure is adjusted manually on the XT Camera System. It is highly
recommended to enter Live View mode as it provides a number of visual aids
such as Exposure Meter, Exposure Simulation, live Histograms and RAW
Clipping Warning that makes it easy to adjust the exposure with sucient
accuracy.
Tap on the Movie icon in Camera Controls to initiate Live View.
There are two ways to select the exposure settings (Shutter Speed, Aperture,
ISO) in order to adjust those. You can either press on the bottom-left key on
the IQ4 to cycle through the options or just tap on the desired setting at the
bottom of the touch screen.
Once ISO, Shutter Speed or Aperture becomes highlighted, you can adjust the
value by pressing on the top-right key or the bottom-right key on the IQ4. The
top key increases the shutter time, ISO and Aperture values while the bottom
key do the reverse.
It is highly recommended to take advantage of the dierent exposure
adjustment aids that Live View provides like the RGB Histogram, RAW
Histogram and RAW Clipping Warnings that are explained below. You enable
these by sliding your finger in from the right of the screen and tap on the
Histogram icon.
Please see the succeeding Camera Controls and Live View chapters for full
detail on adjusting the exposure.
15Getting Started 15XT Camera System Manual |

XT Capture Settings
In addition to adjusting exposure, the Camera Controls also let you change
additional settings like White Balance, File Format and applying an IQ Styles.
These settings are accessed by tapping on the related icon on the Camera
Controls screen.
Adjusting the Focus
Focus is adjusted manually with the Focus Ring on the XT Lens. It is highly
recommended to enter Live View mode when adjusting the focus by tapping
on the Live View icon on Camera Controls.
There are two ways to evaluate the focus when in Live View - Focus Peaking
and zooming into the image. Focus Peaking is a visual aid that mark the sharp
areas green and will update as you change the focus. You can also zoom into
any part of the image by tapping on it and then inspect the sharpness level. It
is possible to combine the two methods as Focus Peaking will update as you
zoom into the image and pan around.
For more information on how to turn Focus Peaking on and o as well as
taking advantage of the other Live View features, please see the Live View
chapter later on.
Using Shift
The XT Camera System provides horizontal as well as vertical (rise/fall)
movements that enables perspective control, image displacement and
stitching of multiple captures. The workflow is greatly improved by that fact
that any movement is automatically detected and recorded as metadata in
each image file for advanced and seamless Lens Cast Correction (LCC) in
Capture One.
The horizontal and vertical (rise/fall) movements is operated by Horizontal
Shift Dial on the top of the XT Camera Body and the Vertical Shift Dial located
at the right-hand side of the camera.
You can check the amount of X movements in millimeters at the top of the
camera body with the Horizontal Shift Scale and the amount of Y movements
in millimeters on the side of the camera body with the Vertical Shift Scale. You
can apply shift in both directions up to +/- 12mm.
The shifted scale will also be visible on the IQ4 screen when using the Live
View and Camera Controls and will – as mentioned – be recorded
automatically in the captured image metadata for Capture One to recognize.
It is recommended to enter Live View when adjusting the Shift values as the
eect of the movements(s) will be clearly visible and easy to review.
