NEW OneTouch UI
Waist Level Focus Confirmation
Focus Stack Tool
With a newly introduced HoneyBee AF we are adding direct focus confirmation to the exposure feed back on the XF OneTouch UI. Giving full capture control with the Waist Level Finder. With a simple and easy reference for focus, available at a moments notice, you’ll be able to ensure focus without missing a beat.
The adaptive design of the XF Camera System make way for some fantastic possibilities. Now with added focus control, the XF Camera System can systematically capture a sequence of images while precisely adjusting focus for each frame. You set the parameters and the XF Camera System does the rest. Perfect in the studio or in the field, the Focus Stacking Tool results in image sequences perfect for integration into post processing solutions like Helicon Focus… now FREE for 1 year to any XF Camera System owner.
Hyperfocal Point Calibration
Time-lapse Tool
Use Capture One PRO to calibrate and save the hyperfocal point on each of your Phase One lenses. With the Hyperfocal Tool you can easily dial in each lenses perfect “sweet spot” for hyperfocal focus. With the hyperfocal point saved for the specific lens, you can select the stored point at a moments notice to ensure perfectly sharp images with maximum hyperfocal focus achieved.
An excellent creative tool, the XF Camera System now provides a Time-lapse sequence tool, also known as an Intervalometer, to capture automated image sequences. Use it for compiling images after the shoot or to ensure the nuance of fading light is never missed, the precision control of the Time-lapse tool allows you to set the time between each capture, the total number of captures, as well as the delay at start. The tool respects all existing camera modes and options, ensuring meticulous accuracy and dependable captures.
Seismographic Vibration Delay
HDR Sequence Tool
Set your camera up to wait until the camera is absolutely still. Image blur from camera shake can be the deciding factor between a perfectly sharp or unacceptably soft image. The XF Camera Systems Seismograph Vibration delay will wait until the camera is absolutely still to capture your vision, ensuring that no camera shake will ever be introduced into the captured image.
Taking advantage of added Capture One 9.1 organization features, the XF Camera System provides a tool intended for High Dynamic Range editing after capture. The HDR tool of the XF Camera System is similar to the bracketing feature but integrates proprietary tags so images can easily be identified, selected and edited in Capture One. The HDR Tool provides added workflow options to minimize post-processing complications and allow for easier integration with third-party applications.
BullsEye Level
HoneyBee Autofocus Update
Access this tool on the XF OneTouch UI to easily adjust the alignment of the camera system, using the XF Camera Body’s 3 axis accelerometer. The BullsEye Level tool will ensure the camera is perfectly set for special applications, such as architecture, panoramic stitching or landscape imagery.
With the introduction of the XF Camera System came the introduction of our proprietary Autofocus platform. Our HAP-1 system ensures that we can grow, customize and accelerate autofocus to meet the needs of the world’s most demanding photographers. Improvements have been made to increase accuracy in low light conditions, ensure focus of various low contrast materials in even light, and improved precision when using the XF Camera System handheld with behavior changes initiated from the systems several accelerometers.
