Internal LCD
External LCD
Condition #1
This display will appear before the shutter has been released (Normal
mode). At this point the Mamiya 645AFD will act as if there is a film
magazine attached and will display shutter speed and aperture respec-
tively. This indication will not appear under conditions 4b, 5 and 6.
Condition #2
This will appear under normal shooting conditions after the shutter has
been released (Capture mode). CaP db tells us the digital back is in the
process of capturing an image. It will be displayed until the digital
capture is complete except under conditions 4b, 5 and 6.
Condition #3
After the CaP db display these indicators may appear (After Capture
mode). Db-E indicates a digital back exposure warning. The +1.3
confirms the meter reading is +1.3 stops higher than the set exposure
on the camera. It will appear in the Manual and X exposure modes. If
the exposure setting set on the camera does not agree with the expo-
sure determined by the meter, this will be displayed showing the
difference between the two. When this appears, it will blink for three
seconds. It can be cancelled by pressing any button.
Condition #4
Internal LCD
External LCD
After CaP db is displayed these indicators may appear (After Capture
mode). It confirms the digital back is storing an image and that there
are certain number of frames left in the memory of the digital back. This
indicator shows the remaining frames left by displaying Stor 88 (where
88 is a number between 99 and 1). This will be displayed when the
frames-to-go is less that 100. This display will blink for 3 seconds and
can be cancelled by pressing any button. Note: Some digital backs will
only display Stor db in this instance. If the db-E and Stor conditions are
both true, the db-E will be displayed for 3 seconds and then Stor will
be displayed for 3 seconds.
Condition #4b
This indicator may appear before the shutter has been released (Normal
mode). This is warning that the storage capacity of the digital back has
been reached. If the shutter release button is pressed at this time the -
no- db indication will blink for 3 seconds.
Condition #5
When the battery of the digital back has been exhausted this indication
will appear. If the shutter release is pressed the -no- db indication (see
condition #7) will be displayed and blink for 3 seconds.
Condition #6
Internal LCD
External LCD
When the digital back or host computer is busy, this indicator will be
displayed. If the shutter release is pressed the -no- db indication (see
condition 7) will be displayed and blink for 3 seconds.
Condition #7
If the digital back is connected to the Mamiya 645AFD and the connec-
tion to the host computer is not installed, this will be displayed when
the shutter release is pressed. This will also appear under the previous
three conditions when the shutter release is pressed.
