MAMIYA ZD BACK

Mamiya

Since 1940, Mamiya has been designing and engineering the finest quality cameras and lenses for the professional photographer. In their continued support and dedication for existing Mamiya shooters, Mamiya has developed its first digital capture back. The Mamiya ZD digital back has been exclusively designed for the Mamiya 645AFD and the New RZ67 Pro IID medium format cameras.

The Mamiya ZD digital back provides full camera and back communications via its MSC (Mamiya Serial Communication) data transfer. All important data such as storage space, battery status, exposure data, capture status and much more is communicated and displayed in the viewfinder and main data display of the 645AFD. It utilizes a 22 mega-pixel Dalsa CCD image capture sensor that is nearly 6 x 4.5cm. It captures exceptionally high resolution, sharp images with rich smooth tones.

Now the legendary quality and reliability that has earned Mamiya film cameras their respect in the photo community can easily bridge to digital imaging.

FEATURES:
22 Mega Pixel CCD
The 36mm x 48mm Dalsa CCD imaging sensor contains 22 million active pixels (total 4008h x 5344v). The 14 bit A/D (Analog to Digital) conversion records color information as 12-bit per color channel, providing exceptional true-to-life color accuracy.

ASIC
(Application Specific Integrated Circuit)
Data transfer from the Dalsa CCD sensor is processed in real- time with its exclusively designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The advantage to the photographer is that image data captured from the sensor is optimized for fast performance. With a frame capture rate of 1.2 fps, it’s one of the fastest 22 Mega pixel digital Medium-Format capture backs in the industry.

Dual Storage Card Slots
The Mamiya ZD provides card slots for both Compact Flash (CF) and Secure Data (SD). Approximately 100 images in Mamiya RAW format can be stored onto a 4GB CF card.

File Format
Images are captured in Mamiya RAW format, JPEG or both RAW and JPEG. Three levels of image quality alone with image size are easily selectable through the digital back’s intuitive built-in software menus.

Removable Low-Pass Filter
Utilizing an innovative cartridge type removable Low-Pass filter (optional) the Mamiya ZD digital back offers photographers a choice, depending on shooting conditions, whether to use the filter or not. Mamiya Digital Photo Studio
Simple yet powerful Digital Photo Studio software provides the prefect blend of image capture, processing and editing for both MAC and Windows based computers. When connected to a computer via a 4-pin FireWire® (IEEE1394) cable, many of the functions of the Mamiya ZD digital back can be operated from a computer.
