## Description

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.

## Review summary

Phocus Mobile offers strong on-set benefits like remote client viewing and easy setup, plus basic shooting controls and remote triggering. However, it is plagued by crashes, inconsistent camera compatibility with newer models, outdated software, and missing essential features. The app’s value lies in client collaboration, but reliability and feature gaps limit its professional usability.

### Pros

- Enables remote client viewing and ranking of images during shoots
- Easy setup and generally reliable launch out of the box
- Basic live view, focus controls, and exposure controls work as expected
- Remote triggering and tethering support for on-location shoots
- Fast, on-device previews to quickly review shots

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability across devices and versions
- Camera compatibility issues and failure to recognize newer Hasselblad models
- Missing essential features (live histogram, white balance control, video viewing) and inconsistent functionality
- Lack of ongoing updates, with versions several years old
- Inability to connect multiple devices simultaneously during sessions
