You beat me, Guy.

Hey, I think item #5 requires us to buy a new Schneider LS lens, you know, to test the firmware update....

USB and UDMA7 not complete yet.

http://www.captureintegration.com/2011/12/14/phase-one-iq-firmware-update/

USB in this update refers to USB controlled Schneider Electronic Lenses most commonly used in table-top photography and special applications (e.g. art reproduction).

Wow, a custom splash screen. I am so impressed that I can forget all of the other missing essential features.

In a way though it can identify your back. Okay that may not seem really needed but you know on the workshops stuff goes all over the place. There are times it would be useful, okay maybe cool to show off your studio logo to all the models. See what was i thinking there you go, thats the reason. LOL

let's see,
we can have a custom splash screen......................
but 1 year after the promotion of USB as a connecting protocol and the port is only useful to operate a remote shutter on a tech cam.
We are now up to firmware 2.0
I am beginning to wonder if the promise of USB 3.0 tethering is vaporware.

So in the Keystone pane in C1 there is an "A" (for automatic) that is greyed out for me. Is that because I'm using my IQ 180 with a tech camera or because it hasn't been implemented for the IQ 180 yet?
