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.
