Overview USER GUIDE 3.15 PHOCUS OVERVIEW Phocus Phocus is the Capture Processing and File Management application aimed primarily at Hasselblad 3F file handling. Phocus is available for both Mac and Windows. Professional Image Quality Phocus combines Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) with Digital Auto Correction (DAC) to provide high digital image quality in the images you create.
Overview USER GUIDE 3.16 CAMERA CONFIGURATION IN PHOCUS The Camera Configuration tool in Phocus offers a very thorough and secure way of creating comprehensive profiles for the H6D. There are three windows – Controls, Exposure and General – that present virtually all parameters to enable total control at the press of a button. This means that separate and specific custom profiles created in advance can cover a number of shooting scenarios. In addition these profiles can be easily imported and exported.
Overview USER GUIDE 37 3.17 BATTERY AND BATTERY GRIP Rechargeable battery grip The environmentally approved Battery grip Li-ion (3043357) is the standard power source for the H6D camera. The H6D requires a power supply for all actions as there is no mechanical reserve facility. It is therefore advisable to keep a reserve rechargeable battery grip at hand. As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered when used in very low temperatures.
USER GUIDE Overview 38 3.18 BATTERY CHARGER The battery charger is supplied with a number of plug attachments to suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide. Other types of socket will require a domestic socket converter. Attach the chosen plug by sliding it into position as in the diagram. Removal is by the reverse procedure.
USER GUIDE Overview RECHARGEABLE BATTERY GRIP SPECIFICATION LI-ION/ BATTERY CHARGER 3053572 BCH-2 – PRECAUTIONS and GENERAL The battery should be charged for approximately 6 hours before first time use. The battery should have a usable service life of around 400 recharge/discharge cycles. The battery must be charged at room temperature. Connect the battery grip to the camera correctly. Maximum battery capacity is reached only after the battery has been charged and discharged several times.
Overview USER GUIDE BATTERY LIFE AND BATTERY WARNING Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exactly predicted. If the camera is left in the active state instead of Display Off or Sleep modes for long periods, for example, then the battery will become exhausted much faster. A low camera battery state is indicated by a symbol on the grip display, in the viewfinder as well as on the sensor unit display. In addition, an audible signal sounds.
