Phocus Mobile 2 4+

I tried both my iPhone and iPad and I was not able to find the fine art frame for importing images. I also used my X2D USB C cable and the app won’t discover my camera.

Camera manufacturers usually put very little effort in making their apps good which is not the case with Phocus at all!

The UI is great and I haven’t had any issues whatsoever using it with my X2D for several weeks. It connected to the camera every single time, processing and edit tools are powerful and come very handy when you need to share a photo quickly on the go.

I would love to see a few improvements though:
1. Files API integration, so that I could share the same files between Phocus Mobile and Desktop versions.
2. Export 16-bit TIFF files (as I can currently do using desktop version).
3. Perspective correction (again, similar to the desktop version).
4. Less sensitive horizon adjustment slider (currently a tiny little movement of the slider turns it by several degrees). A good example is Photomator where you can easily adjust for a fraction of degree.
5. Ability to input precise values for edits (by tapping on the number), again similar to how it’s implemented in Photomator or Lightroom.
6. Tapping on a side of the sliders works as a single increment (like +/- buttons).

I’ve been working with Hasselblad US support for month in an attempt to get my X2D to connect with Phocus 2. The app recognizes that the camera is connected but will not allow any control of the camera or any viewing or downloading of images. All of this was possible with Phocus 1.7 and my X2D. Hasselblad admits that there is a problem and have suggested several workarounds, none of which did anything to help. This is all by WiFi because USB-C connectivity with the X2D has never been an option, although it is possible to connect via USB with other Hasselblad cameras. Hasselblad needs to do a lot better supporting their flagship products. This is embarrassing for them.
