FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Leaf Products, CreoScitex Announces the Leaf C-Most
Digital Camera Back
First Leaf C-Most 6.6 mega pixel sensor implementation
PHOTOKINA, Koln, GERMANY, September 21, 2000 CreoScitex, a division of Creo
Products Inc. (NASDAQ: CREO; TSE: CRE), today unveiled the Leaf C-Most back, a
new camera back that integrates the recently developed, patent-pending Leaf C-
Most(tm) 6.6 mega pixel sensor. Complementing the high-end line of Leaf(tm)
products, the Leaf C-Most back is ideal for medium-format photography. The
Leaf C-Most back with the new sensor is being exhibited at Photokina, September
20-25 in Koln, Germany.
The Leaf C-Most back is easy to use and simple to operate. It sports the design
and size of a film cassette making the integration with a medium format camera
a snap. Built-in technologies that facilitate a "plug-and-play" experience make
the camera back especially suited for novice users. Special attention has been
given to creating a high-quality, noise-free image. The very low power
consumption of the sensor, coupled with a special sensor power management mode
ensures a clear image, with minimum electronic noise. The Leaf C-Most back
provides over 11 f-stops of dynamic range using 14 bits of data per color.
"The introduction of the Leaf C-Most back marks a significant turning point in
professional digital photography," said Amit Shvartz, Vice President, Marketing,
Leaf Products, CreoScitex. "The unique value proposition of the Leaf C-Most back
will draw more photographers to add digital photography to their offering, hence
fueling the transition from analog to digital."

The Leaf C-Most back incorporates an extraordinary burst-shooting rate of three
frames per second. While shooting products, the Live Preview feature enables
photographers to compose a scene and focus interactively. Leaf C-Most back
provides a video frame rate of up to 10 frames per second using a built-in
electronic shutter.
The 6.6 mega pixel Leaf C-Most, incorporated in the digital camera back, is the
largest CMOS sensor of its kind to be commercially developed. The Leaf C-Most
sensor provides exceptional image quality when compared to other CMOS sensors
due to a unique active pixel design, high sensitivity and low noise levels.
The Leaf C-Most back with the Leaf C-Most sensor is the latest technological
breakthrough for Leaf Products. This same group pioneered the first high-end
digital camera back for professional studio photography in 1992. The Leaf
DCB(tm) set the de-facto standard by being the most commonly used camera back in
the industry.
