1 Introduction  
The H 10 for M645 is a single shot digital camera back for the  
innovative Mamiya 645 AFD camera. The Mamiya 645  
utilises a hybrid TTL phase-difference-detection type auto-  
focus system. Further more the Mamiya 645AF provides  
auto exposure settings. The Mamiya 645AFD with a H 10  
M645 back encourages all kinds of photographic uses from  
portraiture and wide-angle photography to high speed  
shooting to capturing fast action with telephoto lenses. This  
exiting combination is a result of a joint development project  
between Phase One and Mamiya-OP.  
The functionality of the H 10 M645 is well integrated with  
the Mamiya 645AFD camera. The H 10 M645 camera back  
communicates with the Mamiya camera through a fast inter-  
nal electrical computer interface.  
The H 10 M645 is based on the highly recognised Phase One  
camera back technology. The application software for the H  
10 M645 is the same as for all other Phase One single shot  
products. The Capture One User Guide is a general manual  
for these products. This Manual “H 10 M645 - Getting  
Started” covers only specific H 10 M645 features and func-  
tionality.

2 Special H 10 M645  
features  
Auto exposure  
The Mamiya 645AFD can work in different auto exposure  
modes. This is fully supported by the H 10 M645, which com-  
municates the equivalent film speed of the digital back to  
the Mamiya 645AFD camera.  
The default film speed of the H 10 M645 camera back is ISO  
50. However this setting can be changed to 100, 200 or even  
400 ISO, inside the Capture One application.  
It is recommended to capture images using a film curve.  
That is done by selecting the film curve in the Capture One  
software. Click the camera icon in the icon bar, and select  
“Film Curve” or “Film Curve, Natural Black”.  
When capturing with auto exposure modes, exposures be-  
tween 1/4000 sec. and 30 sec can be obtained. Please note  
that images captured with exposure times longer than 2 sec.  
can be degraded because of increased digital noise.

H 10  
M645 Getting Started  
Double exposure protection  
When using the M645 with a H 10 M645 it is not possible to  
accidently double expose the image by capturing one image  
quickly after another. The H 10 communication with the  
M645 is disabling capture functionality in the camera when  
necessary.  
At the end of an image exposure the image information in  
the CCD has to be moved from the CCD to the host com-  
puter. During this short period of time the CCD must be pro-  
tected from light exposure. The H 10 M645 ensures a safe  
emptying of the CCD by ignoring the shutter release from  
the Mamiya camera.  
Image orientation detection  
The CCD in H 10 M645 is positioned in landscape orienta-  
tion. Whenever an image is captured in portrait position by  
rotating the camera, an internal sensor detects this new po-  
sition and the image will appear as a correctly oriented im-  
age in the Capture One application.  
Camera orientation:  
Images can be captured in all three positions - and will appear  
with the correct orientation in the Capture One software.

IR filter on the CCD  
The IR filter (Phase One TG1 Infrared cut-off filter) is placed  
on top of the CCD.  
The filter may not be removed for several reasons.

The focusing of the H 10 camera back will be damaged  
It is only possible to remount the filter without dust in  
between the filter and the CCD if you have access to  
special clean room facilities.

taking pictures  
Mounting the viewfinder mask  
The image area of the Mamiya 645AF is approximately 6 cm  
x 4.5 cm. The image area of the H 10 M645 is 2.4 cm x 3.6 cm.  
A H 10 M645 viewfinder mask is provided. This mask has to  
be mounted beneath the original focusing screen. The  
viewfinder mask is positioned in the bracket that holds the  
focusing screen. Please refer to the Mamiya 645 AFD In-  
structions “Changing the focus screen” before the  
focus screen is mounted.  
The black mark on the  
mask must be orien-  
tated to the left front  
corner of the bracket.

Mounting the H 10 M645 on the Mamiya 645AFD  
The H 10 M645 is fully integrated with the camera house  
and acts as a true part of the whole camera system.  
When no cassette is attached to the Mamiya 645 AF camera  
house the mirror is up and the shutter is open. This is the  
correct position, when no film cassette is attached.  
When attaching the M645 to the camera house, the shutter  
will close and the mirror comes down.  
It is important to ensure that the bottom part of the H 10  
M645 camera back is pressed well into the locking mecha-  
nism before the upper locking mechanism is pressed to-  
gether. Failure to do this can in some circumstances bring  
the Mamiya camera house in an error state of continuos  
opening and closing the shutter. (The same procedure is rec-  
ommended for all film cassettes).  
In case this error appears you simply have to remove the H  
10 M645. Notice if the shutter is in the closed position, at-  
tach and remove the H 10 to make sure that the camera  
house gets in the correct starting position.  
To avoid that the H 10 is released by mistake from the cam-  
era house, you can use the enclosed screwdriver to lock the  
H 10 M645 locking mechanism.

M645 Getting Started  
Use of cables  
Using auto focus lenses:  
No cables are required be-  
tween the H 10 M645 and  
the Mamiya 645AFD  
when auto focus lenses  
are used.  
Flash sync cable must be  
connected to the Mamiya  
645AFD camera house.  
CORRECT  
When using AF lenses the  
flash sync cable must  
NOT be connected to the  
camera back.

H 10  
M645 Getting Started  
Using manual focus lenses:  
The provided short flash  
sync cable shall be con-  
nected between the “C”  
plug on the H 10 M645  
and the lens sync plug.  
The flash system sync  
cable shall be connected  
to the H 10 M645 “F”  
plug.  
Only exposure times between 1/250 sec. and 30 sec. are  
supported.  
When using a manual-focus lens in continuous light you  
must manually compensate for a small underexposure i.e.  
with the setting of the aperture:  
Exposure time  
1/60 sec  
Loss in exposure  
1/3 f-stop  
1/125 sec  
1/2 f-stop  
1/250 sec  
1 f-stop  
Operating the camera from the host computer:  
The supplied motor cable must be connected between the  
“M” connector on the H 10 M645 and the 8-pin connector on  
the Mamiya camera house. AF-lenses as well as manual fo-  
cus lenses can be used.

4 Maintenance  
Cleaning the IR filter  
When the H 10 M645 camera back is not attached to a  
Mamiya camera, the camera back shall be protected with  
the protection plate. Still dust particles can stick to the IR fil-  
ter. This will degrade the image quality.  
The cleaning procedure for cleaning the IR filter is described  
in the guidelines for the CCD cleaning kit that came with  
your camera back.  
Cleaning between the CCD and the IR filter  
Do not try to clean between the CCD and the IR filter!  
The mounting of the IR filter is done at the factory in a high-  
class clean room. This process is a very specialised process  
that insures an extremely high quality of the glass surfaces  
of the CCD and the IR filter. The screws for locking the IR  
filter are sealed. If the seal is broken Phase One will not  
guarantee for any particles between the CCD and the IR  
filter.

5 Current limitations  
Continuous capture mode  
Continuous capture mode will work as single exposure  
mode. Keeping the release bottom down will only result in  
one exposure. The release button has to be depressed be-  
tween exposures.
