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.

Every instant photo becomes a link you can share. Instant Link turns a Polaroid or Instax print into a little web page that looks just like the real thing, same film format, same camera. Send the link to anyone, or write it to an NFC tag and stick it on the back of the print. One tap reopens the memory. Scan and straighten Hold your print in front of the camera. Instant Link finds the corners on its own, captures once it's steady, and fixes the perspective, no wobbly, keystoned photos. Drag the corners yourself if you want it exact, then crop to the frame. Or pull in a photo you've already taken. Choose your film Polaroid, Polaroid Go, Instax Mini, Square and Wide Tap to open Write the link to any NFC tag straight from the app. Put it on the print, in an album, on a fridge, inside a gift. A tap opens the page, no app needed on the other end, and it works on any device with a browser. Your links, kept together Every page stays in your library. Give it a title and the date it was shot, swap a photo, change the camera, or take a page offline whenever you want. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
