The P+ Series - the next generation of powerful, precision digital backs. This series opens new opportunities for the world’s leading photographers by raising the standards for digital image quality, flexibility, speed and durability. The new Phase One P+ digital backs are designed to support all medium format, large format and technical cameras.

New Digital Back Features

Patent pending XPose+ technology enables exposures of up to 1 hour, providing photographers with the time to create fantastic images by using creative techniques such as extreme light painting. New live preview feature with a scalable focus window supports an effective workflow between the professional shooter, the art directors and stylists on large production jobs.A unique and patented level meter to ensure the perfect horizontal setup with very high precision.

Best in Class Color Reproduction

Opticolor+ is a unique image processing algorithm, delivering high color accuracy in deep shadows as well as capturing perfect skin tones. Dynamic+ technology ensures less noise at all ISO settings and breaks through previous photographic limits such as the ability to work in very low light.

Workflow Gains

The P+ series will be followed by the new Capture One 4 RAW workflow software to speed the handling of RAW images. Capture rates of up to 70 per minute (with the P 21+ digital back), booting times close to 1 second, unlimited burst capacity, and support for compact IIQ RAW format. Capture One 4 also provides immediate preview generation and image processing of high resolution 120 MB TIFF in less than 20 seconds. The Capture One RAW software is easily integrated with Adobe®’s Photoshop, Adobe®’s Lightroom, Apple®’s Aperture and iView®’s MediaPro.
