Phocus Mobile is an extension of the professional Phocus by Hasselblad image processing software. Phocus by Hasselblad provides photographers with a processing toolbox that enables you to get the most from the world’s largest raw image files. Phocus Mobile connects wirelessly to either a Mac or Windows computer running Phocus and allows you to remotely browse, rate, pan and zoom your high resolution RAW, JPEG and TIFF images. Perfect for working with clients in the studio since each person can review images on an iOS device rather than gathering around a single computer.
Phocus Mobile also allows you to remotely operate and trigger a tethered Hasselblad camera, providing control of exposure mode, f/stop, shutter speed, ISO, metering mode and other important capture parameters – all neatly presented on a virtual camera display. Remote controlling the camera is particularly useful when the camera is located in a difficult-to-access position.
