FlexAdaptor Getting Started

Does the FlexAdaptor Limit Your Shooting?
You can still benefit from the original functionality of
your view camera in terms of movement i.e. tilt, shift, or
swing, image area, and supported lenses.
Please note:
Some view cameras do have certain
limitations in terms of movements, once the FlexAdaptor
is mounted. For instance, mounting of the FlexAdaptor
on view cameras with L-shaped back rears e.g. Linhof
Kardan GTL will limit positive and negative tilts.
Since the focus plane of the FlexAdaptor matches that of
the view camera, you can use all available camera
settings. Also, you may use all types of lighting and you
may even use wide-angle lenses.
Mounting the digital back in Portrait or Landscape Mode
As mentioned above, the FlexAdaptor allows image
capturing in both portrait and landscape mode.
In order to switch from portrait mode to landscape mode
and vice versa the interchangeable insert, onto which
the digital back is mounted, must be turned to the right
orientation:
1.
Open the insert lock by pressing of the two blue
switches on the closing mechanism
2.
Turn the insert 90° or 270°
3.
Click the insert back on again
Though carried out manually, the procedure is facilitated
by the switches and you do not have to remove the
digital back single-shot camera back while changing
orientation.
