Hasselblad X1D
New firmware updates have been announced for the Hasselblad X1D and Hasselblad H6D. Such features include:
- White Balance Tool allows the photographer to set the colour temperature and tint directly on a photograph when shooting. These values can then be applied to all following images until the setting is turned off.
- Profiles for quicker setup for Hasselblad H6D: The user can now create seven customisable profiles. By accessing the General Settings Menu on the main display, the user can easily navigate to the Profiles Menu and save the current camera settings to one of the seven profiles. With these preset settings customised by the user, the photographer has the tools to swiftly change camera settings without losing time, and ultimately, their shot.
- Interval Timer and Exposure Bracketing for Hasselblad X1D: Using the Interval Timer, photographers can further their creativity with time-lapse shots; Exposure Bracketing gives users options in their exploration of varied exposure settings, capturing up to 9 frames with customisable sequences of bracketing exposures.
- Auto focus support for all HC/HCD Lenses (except HC120 Macro) when using the XH Lens Adapter on Hasselblad X1D cameras.
