## What is Phocus for X1D/H System?

Phocus for X1D/H System enables you to remote control a Hasselblad camera and perform basic browsing and rating of images. It connects to a host that can either be the Phocus by Hasselblad software running on Mac or Windows or alternatively directly to one of our WiFi equipped H5D, H6D and X1D cameras. Do note that for connecting directly to X1D II, CFV II cameras and later you will need Phocus Mobile instead.

Camera control includes setting parameters like aperture, shutter, exposure mode etc. It's possible to trigger auto focus, mirror up/down and of course image capture. All this is done via a control panel that neatly simulates the actual UI on the camera itself. Camera live view is also available. When browsing images you can zoom all the way into 100% and handle the star rating. Basic image metadata is available.

Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Requires iOS 13.0 or later.

### 5/5 — 最新版本好多了，希望越来越好

*2024-09-27*

最新版本可以编辑HEIF格式，大大节省了存储压力，太棒了！希望后期可以丰富镜头矫正功能，可以参考snapped。再丰富一下边框水印。另外希望安卓版本早日排上日程！

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2021-11-19*

I am a H-series user 
It is a good app just for preview images instantly.
But the quality of preview is very low.

### 1/5 — Cannot be more instable...

*2021-04-16*

Phocus app for iMac crashes all the time, Hasselblad not only don’t know why but don’t do anything about it.
This app is bad as well and I generally not recommend using Phocus app nor Phocus for iMac!!!
Avoid Hasselblad as a whole! I have used Hasselblad film and now digital for the last 15-20y and the brand isn’t good anymore, quality went down and price went up.

### 1/5 — 不知道所谓联机是怎么弄的

*2020-07-16*

也没有任何引导说明，根本连不上ipad，Mac链接也是时断时续的

### 1/5 — zhaz

*2020-05-30*

取景界面竟然和拍照界面不是同个节目，这设定也没谁了，让我想起了徕卡3型

### 1/5 — The app need to be updated!!

*2020-04-02*

Phocus Mobile 2 doesn’t support mobile phone! Only iPad, you should call it Phocus iPad!

This app is too old. For a camera sells 10000 USD, at least provide some nice support of the apps. 

This App doesn’t show Live Photo’s via your camera lens, you don’t even know where your camera is focusing on. Neither showing the position if you want to take selfie. 

Please update this one ASAP!!

Last version was 2 years ago!!

### 1/5 — X1d2连不上，太烂了!

*2020-02-22*

烂就一个字，我只说一遍！

### 1/5 — 连不上…

*2020-01-04*

不会联

### 1/5 — Still Doesn’t Work With Mk II

*2019-12-07*

I love the X1D, and I have both models, but the fact that this software hasn’t been updated in two years, let alone for the Mk II, earns it zero stars as far as I am concerned.

### 1/5 — 专门为了这个买了一个ipad pro 什么垃圾软件

*2019-12-05*

逗我呢官网上说支持各种下来一看连都连不上真的垃圾
