Capture One is one of the leading raw converters around. It features a wide spectrum of tools and provide an amazing speed.
Unfortunately Phase One (the company behind Capture One) hide unsupported cameras.
To use Capture One for Pentax 645z RAW files it is necessary to change the Manufacturer and Model Informations direct in the EXIF part of the RAW file.
For this step you need a tool witch is able to write EXIF informations. It is possible to change the Manufacturer to any value (only "Pentax" is blocked). As demonstration I changed on Image to "Who is Pentax" and one to "Phase One A/S". Both Model Values are changed to "IQ250".
As you see below both files a visible and editable in Capture One 9. But the "Capture One Magic" only applied with the Copy of the IQ250 Data.
And here step for step the way to solve the problem (
Windows only, for Mac you need to use the terminal)
1. Download the ExifTool by Phil Harvey
ExifTool by Phil Harvey
2. Unzip the .exe file
3. Create a shortcut to the file
4. Edit the shortcut (right click and Properties) and add
-Model=IQ250 -Make="Phase One" -overwrite_original (Yes! with minus)
5. By now the Target should look like
"C:/Tool/exiftool" -Model=IQ250 -Make="Phase One" -overwrite_original
6. To convert your files mark and move your files over the shortcut. For your security create a backup before you convert your RAW files, the ExifTool in this configuration will replace the original file.
7. Open Capture One and enjoy
Just one last point, with this EXIF Modifikation you are may able to use the DB-Version of Capture One 9.
Be fair, buy the Pro-Version if this works for you. The DB-Version is free for user who speed a lot of money for there bodies.

Some information about the Mac OS procedure: Originally posted by gavincato in terminal on mac you could do this to do a entire directory
foreach file ( ` ls ` )
/path/exiftool -Model=IQ250 -Make="Phase One A/S" -overwrite_original $file
end
That would go through a directory listing and run that command on each file.
EDIT:
- more Informations about the MAC OS procedure
- "Phase One" seems to working better than "Phase One A/S"
