1. Jet CHUTE Shutter Shutter refers to the shutter of the camera the P back resides on Due to the sleeping ar Shutter chitecture of the P back where the CCD is put to sleep to reduce power consumption the P back needs to wake up before shooting The timing of this wake up signal is re ferred to as the latency Long latency 42 P Series Reference Manual In general If the camera is used for medium format cameras with digital interface this setting is can be set to either Short latency or Long latency whichever is preferred Short latency has a shorter response time but is power consuming so when battery time is an issue you should select Long latency on the cost of re sponse time from the camera If the P back is used in two shoot mode on a large format camera with i e a copal shutter or another mechanical shutter where the shutter is released one time for waking up the back and another time for shooting the image then the shutter setting in the P back should be set to long latency While short latency will respond immediately to trig gering the camera Long latency will not be that fast but in return you gain much longer battery power Please consult the camera specific sections in this manual to learn more about how to use shutter la tency with your particular P back setup 43 P Series Reference Manual Play Setup The second option in the menu mode is Play Setup Insid
