1Introduction
Why chose a FlexAdaptor
1. It is extremely easy to use and it provides you with the
opportunity of creating panoramic images on a 4" x 5" view
camera.
The FlexAdaptor from Phase One is a sliding adaptor that
allows you to capture one, two, or three overlapping images.
The individual shots may then be stitched in order to create
one high-resolution panoramic image.
2. It offers a unique possibility of creating very large images
With the Phase One FlexAdaptor and build in stitching large
files can easily be made. This allows for larger prints and
more detail in the images.
3. It lets you take advantage of the view cameras movements
even in one-shot mode.
The FlexAdaptor does not need to be reomoved in order to
work in one-shot mode. Just select one-shot mode and shoot
like you would with your Phase One single-shot camera back.
The focusing screen consists of masked areas that indicate
the available image areas for one-, two-, or three-shot mode.
4. Larger angle of view.
By using the FlexAdaptor the effective angle of view of the
camera is expanded by moving the camera sensor on the film-
plane. This gives you a larger angle of view useful for
architecture and interior shots and eliminates the need for
expensive wide-angle view camera lenses.

The FlexAdaptor Focusing Screen
The FlexAdaptor is equipped with a special focusing screen
that matches the focal plane of your camera.
The masked areas on the focusing screen are guidelines to
indicate the image area available in one-, two-, or three-
capture mode.
This gives you full control of the capturing process.
The ground glass has printed lines to show the position and
orientation of the different Phase One camera backs.
• Phase One LightPhase, H 5, H 10, H 101
• Phase One H 20
• Phase One H 25

equipped with a built-in magnifying glass. Mount the
viewfinder on top of the FlexAdaptor's focusing screen by
placing the right side of the viewfinder at the right side of

the ground glass. Now gently press the viewfinder's left
side down on the focusing screen until it clicks. Make sure
that both sides are properly mounted.
How to access the focusing screen
The viewfinder has a built-in magnifying glass. You can
choose to focus your camera by using the magnifying
glass or you can flip the viewfinder to the left and only
use the focusing screen. You simply release the
viewfinder´s right side and turn it to the left. Now you
will have direct access to the focusing screen. The
magnifier can be removed from the focusing screen by
flipping it. The magnifier re t u r ns to its original position
in front of the focusing screen when you press the blue

button on top of the viewfinder. Also, you may choose
to remove the viewfinder and use the focusing screen
for focusing.
NOTE!
Allways use the FlexAdaptor’s handle when lifting the
FlexAdaptor. Never use the viewfinder!
The viewfinder will come off.Phase One does not cover any
physical damage caused by dropping the FlexAdaptor
Mounting the FlexAdaptor on a view camera
1. Remove the focusing screen on your view camera.
2. Mount the FlexAdaptor onto the view camera. In
order to facilitate mounting, the FlexAdaptor matches
both the mounting of the focusing screen of the view
camera as well as its closing mechanisms.
3. Remove the FlexAdaptor once your work is
completed, and mount the original focusing screen onto
your view camera.

Does the FlexAdaptor Limit Your Shooting?
You can still benefit from the original functionality of
your view camera in terms of movement i.e. tilt, shift, or
swing, image area, and supported lenses.
Please note: Some view cameras do have certain
limitations in terms of movements, once the FlexAdaptor
is mounted. For instance, mounting of the FlexAdaptor
on view cameras with L-shaped back rears e.g. Linhof
Kardan GTL will limit positive and negative tilts.
Since the focus plane of the FlexAdaptor matches that of
the view camera, you can use all available camera
settings. Also, you may use all types of lighting and you
may even use wide-angle lenses.
Mounting the digital back in Portrait or Landscape Mode
As mentioned above, the FlexAdaptor allows image
capturing in both portrait and landscape mode.
In order to switch from portrait mode to landscape mode
and vice versa the interchangeable insert, onto which
the digital back is mounted, must be turned to the right
orientation:
1. Open the insert lock by pressing of the two blue
switches on the closing mechanism
2. Turn the insert 90° or 270°
3. Click the insert back on again
Though carried out manually, the procedure is facilitated
by the switches and you do not have to remove the
digital back single-shot camera back while changing
orientation.
