\nMamiya ZDb Digital Back Debuts at Photokina 2008<\/b>
\n
\nMamiya Digital Imaging has announced the next model of their digital back \u2013 called the Mamiya ZDb 22 megapixel Digital Back \u2013 will be shown at Photokina 2008. To further refine the successful Mamiya ZD Digital Back system, the R&D team at Mamiya has developed the new ZDb Digital Back with several useful enhancements.
\n
\nTo allow longer shooting sessions, the ZDb will have a buffer with up to twice the memory of the original ZD Digital Back \u2013 this means that you can continuously shoot up to 22 frames of full resolution RAW files before the buffer is full. The new back is now compatible with SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards that can store up to 32 gigabytes of images. The Mamiya ZDb Digital Back can also use SD, SDHC, CF I and CF II cards.
\n
\nWhen used with the new Mamiya 645AFDIII, the ZDb Back will display the camera’s 35 custom function controls on the LCD panel. This will make custom camera settings fast and user-friendly. In addition, a beta version of the new Mamiya Remote Capture software will soon be downloadable from our homepage, www.mamiya.com. This software makes shooting tethered with the Mamiya ZDb Back faster and easier.
\n
\nBoasting a 22 mega pixel Dalsa CCD sensor at an affordable price, the ZDb Digital Back allows the Mamiya 645AFDII, Mamiya 645AFDIII, RZ67Pro-IID and RB67Pro-SD to take razor-sharp digital images – transforming professional quality film cameras into high-end digital systems.
\n
\nPricing and delivery will be announced in the fall of 2008.

Mamiya Remote Capture for Tethered Operation with Mamiya ZD Digital Backs
\n
\nMamiya has introduced their new capture software for use with Mamiya ZD digital camera systems.
\n
\nMamiya Remote Capture can be used with the Mamiya ZD or Mamiya ZD Digital Back via the 1394 Firewire cable for shooting in tethered mode. Since Mamiya Raw files (.mef) can be opened by major processing software, such as Phase One’s Capture One 4.1, Adobe Photoshop\/Lightroom, etc., Mamiya Remote Capture saves images from the ZD Digital back directly to a computer’s hard drive. This gives the user the option to process files with their own choice of software.
\n
\nMamiya Remote Capture provides seamless shooting and control of the camera and back via the computer keyboard or mouse, or by controls on the camera body.
\nThe Mamiya Remote Capture beta version will be launched on the 17th of September 2008, and can be downloaded from our homepage, www.mamiya.com.
\n
\nMamiya Remote Capture:
\n
\n\u2022 Beta version- compatible operating systems
\n\u2022 Mac OS: 10.5 1
\n\u2022 Windows: Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2
\n\u2022 Beta version- compatible cameras
\n\u2022 Mamiya ZD
