font size="3">Phase One Releases Capture One Version 3.7.3

Support for new cameras

The DB and PRO versions of Capture One will include support for the brand new Phase One Digital Backs P 30 and P 45, featuring 31 and 39 mega pixels respectively.


The PRO and LE versions of Capture One will now also support the cameras listed below:

• Canon EOS 5D
• Canon EOS-1D Mark II N
• Konica Minolta Alpha / Dynax / Maxxum 5D
• Olympus E-500 EVOLT
• Leica Digital Module R for R8 and R9 cameras
• Beta support for Nikon D200 pre-production models

Improved image quality

In certain situations when shooting with a Phase One H 25, P 20 or P 25 using ultra wide angle lenses we have experienced that small artifacts can appear in the image. In Capture One 3.7.3 we have introduced a new feature, Pattern Noise Suppression, which makes it possible to remove these artifacts. We have developed a special algorithm to deal with these rare artifacts typically seen as small maze/labyrinth patterns in the image on the Phase One digital backs. In some cases this feature has an improving effect on Olympus cameras and also the Leica Digital Module R and the feature is available on those cameras as well.

With Capture One 3.7.3 the banding suppression feature will now also support 16 bit TIFF output, so users can now have optimal image quality and take advantage of the banding suppression feature in Capture One.

All white balances (pre-defined, auto and custom) from Nikon cameras, including D2X, D2Hs and D50 are supported in Capture One PRO and LE.
