“Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction” is the first noise reduction model that can run locally on mobile, perfectly preserving Hasselblad's natural tones and image details, and noise reduction of 100 million pixel RAW images can be completed in about 15 seconds, further unlocking the potential of Hasselblad's images. When viewed on an HDR-capable iPhone or iPad, photos shot with the Hasselblad cameras truly come to life in Phocus Mobile 2 — revealing the stunning light and shadow details and rich color gradations enabled by HNCS HDR. Expanding the possibilities of the Hasselblad workflow, Phocus Mobile 2 takes the image editing process to a new, portable level. Enabling the traveling or studio photographer to have a quicker, more seamless workflow. Phocus Mobile 2 can render natural and true colors to the greatest extent, taking full advantage of the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS). The following functionality is supported: - Brand-new HNCS HDR image display, editing, and export experience - Full quality raw editing powered by HNCS engine - Support multi-format download (RAW/JPG/HEIF) - Supports generating TIFF for cross-platform quality lossless editing - Download or delete images from camera - Camera control of capture parameters - Supports generating full or medium size JPEG Compatible Camera Models [USB or Wi-Fi]: -X2D II 100C* -CFV 100C* -X2D 100C* -X1D II 50C -CFV II 50C *Only Chinese and English are supported within the app

Good start with a critical workflow flaw
12/12/2025

parthiban.m
The app offers core editing features and the X2DII produces incredible files — but there’s a frustratingly critical limitation. There’s no way to export RAW files with adjustments for use on macOS. Exporting RAW only saves the untouched original, which I unfortunately discovered after editing 200+ images. At ~200MB per file, this quickly becomes unsustainable on an iPhone (even with 1TB).If editing is supported, there should be a way to carry those edits forward. Support for exporting in Hasselblad’s FFF format (readable by the Mac app) would solve this. The only current option is exporting as TIFF, but that severely restricts flexibility for future editing.To make matters worse, there’s no cloud sync between the iOS and macOS apps, leaving the two ecosystems completely severed.Update: The TIFF situation is actually even worse as it’s 8bit file in Adobe RGB space, which completely defeats the purpose of using Hasselblad’s incredible color science (HNCS). Please fix this glaring issue, especially if the mobile app is going to get all the latest dev updates first.Dec 2025 Update: Adding a star now that the app supports exporting the 3FR+Phos sidecar file to be edited on macOS.

Simply awesome

I don’t write a ton of reviews, but needed to take the time to write one for Phocus. It just keeps getting better and better. Major props to the developers, your hard work shows. The new features including noise reduction are amazing. This app works so much better than other legacy camera manufacturers apps (looking at you Canon - you should be ashamed). It’s so quick to connect and effortless to browse through 100MP files. They transfer incredibly quickly too. This app is an amazing value add to an already exceptional product.

No shutter delay- unacceptable!

This app critically lacks a delayed shutter release option in conjunction with the self-timer — a function that has been an industry-standard feature on virtually every serious digital and film camera for over two decades. This omission is a significant oversight that directly impacts usability for tripod-mounted, long exposure, and precision framing workflows.There is no technical justification for excluding this feature. Furthermore, since the X2D does not support a mechanical cable release or remote trigger via the USB-C or accessory ports, there is no alternative method to trigger the shutter without physically contacting the camera — introducing vibration and undermining the camera’s performance potential in controlled shooting scenarios.This is a clear regression in functionality. The omission of basic delayed-release capabilities in a flagship medium format system is unacceptable and must be addressed via firmware and app updates immediately

I really love this app. It produces amazing results with minimal effort. It isn’t a replacement for Lightroom but now LR is more like Photoshop was when LR first came out. I only pull it out when I want to do something more complex. Most of my editing and viewing is done with Phocus 2.Please add USB support to the M1 iPad Pros. The USB support makes this app 10x better! (Make sure to get a real USB3 type cable. You will notice the difference.)
