Professional tools from image capture to final output Leaf C-Most digital camera back

The Most in Image Quality

Leaf Rapid Shoot captures a series of shots at 3 frames per second in full resolution. This tool is beneficial for action and fashion photography.

Four key factors are essential in determining image quality: dynamic range, color depth, resolution and image processing algorithms.

Leaf LiveVideo (optional) enables you to compose, focus, and adjust lighting while viewing the changes on the computer screen in real time and in color.

• A key to dynamic range is a large pixel size. The larger the pixel, the greater the dynamic range; hence, more gray levels are captured in an image. With the Leaf C-Most 11.4 micron pixel, details in highlights and shadows are more noticeable. Leaf C-Most pixel in comparison to a 9 micron pixel

MagicAl Eraser tool removes any color aliasing locally. Unlike other anti-moiré blurring techniques, (such as physical filters and sensor vibration), the MagicAl Eraser maintains overall sharpness and image detail.

Greater pixel size increases dynamic range

• The color depth of your image is preserved using the Leaf HDR (high dynamic range) 16-bit file, storing all raw data without losing a bit. The Leaf C-Most captures every color nuance with over 16,000 levels of color per channel giving you superb color depth. • The Leaf C-Most high resolution incorporates over 6 million pixels ensuring that you capture clean images and maintain high quality even with enlargements. • The image processing algorithms are the driving force in the Leaf C-Most and your guarantee for proven quality.

The Most in Performance The Leaf C-Most captures images reliably at a high speed. The burst rate is 3 frames per second in full resolution, giving you top performance in the studio and on-location. A simple FireWire connection from the camera back directly to your laptop is all you need to power the back and shoot anywhere. The low power consumption of the Leaf C-Most provides you longer shooting sessions. Using your laptop you benefit with a large display and almost unlimited, storage space for your captured images.

Moiré is removed while image sharpness is maintained

HDR CloneBrush cleans images immediately after capture without the need to go to another application; the retouched image is saved in HDR format.

HDR Merge function combines several images into one for a multiple exposure effect. Shooting LED displays and creative light painting are easy and simple.

Leaf ColorShop (optional) preprint production package allows you to create high quality, ready-toprint RGB and CMYK files. Leaf Contact Sheet displays a series of images on a digital contact sheet as they are captured. View your images from full screen to select size. Jobs can be sorted, selected and managed with this friendly and efficient tool.

Histogram and toning curve are key tools for refining exposure and controlling image “development” characteristics.

The Most in Ease-of-Use The compact design of the Leaf C-Most matches a medium format film back, making it ideal for handheld photography. Connecting the camera back to the computer is simple, using a single standard FireWire communication cable; just plug it in and shoot.

Leaf Batch Processor tool automatically processes images in the background, while you shoot new images or work with other applications in the foreground.
