11813.1 More Details: Leaf Credo and Mamiya 645 SeriesCamerasPower Management and Shutter LatencyThe Credo CCD is put to sleep to reduce power consumption when it isnot in use. The Credo needs to wake up before shooting and the timingof this wake up signal is referred to as the Shutter Latency.The Leaf Credo and Mamiya 645DF+ camera body responsetime is independent of the shutter latency setting so it is thereforerecommended to keep the latency on the Normal (default) setting, as thisensures a longer battery life.Studio Flash Sync on the Camera BodyA flash sync lead should be connected to the camera body when usingthe Leaf Credo back on Mamiya 645DF+, DF, AF, Mamiya AFD or AFDIImodels.Always use a flash cable and/or equipment that provides grounding forthe flash.Image OrientationThe CCD in the Leaf Credo back is positioned in a landscape orientation.However, the Leaf Credo back has an internal sensor that detects whenit has been rotated. Thus, when the camera is rotated and an image iscaptured in portrait position the image appears correctly oriented on theLCD and in the Capture One application.Image (left) features the V-Grip Air.
