NEW OneTouch UI
Waist Level Focus Confirmation
Focus Stack Tool
With a newly introduced HoneyBee AF we are adding direct
focus confirmation to the exposure feed back on the XF
OneTouch UI. Giving full capture control with the Waist Level
Finder. With a simple and easy reference for focus, available
at a moments notice, you’ll be able to ensure focus without
missing a beat.
The adaptive design of the XF Camera System make way for
some fantastic possibilities. Now with added focus control, the
XF Camera System can systematically capture a sequence of
images while precisely adjusting focus for each frame. You set
the parameters and the XF Camera System does the rest.
Perfect in the studio or in the field, the Focus Stacking Tool
results in image sequences perfect for integration into post
processing solutions like Helicon Focus… now FREE for 1 year
to any XF Camera System owner.
Hyperfocal Point Calibration
Time-lapse Tool
Use Capture One PRO to calibrate and save the hyperfocal
point on each of your Phase One lenses. With the Hyperfocal
Tool you can easily dial in each lenses perfect “sweet spot” for
hyperfocal focus. With the hyperfocal point saved for the
specific lens, you can select the stored point at a moments
notice to ensure perfectly sharp images with maximum
hyperfocal focus achieved.
An excellent creative tool, the XF Camera System now provides
a Time-lapse sequence tool, also known as an Intervalometer,
to capture automated image sequences. Use it for compiling
images after the shoot or to ensure the nuance of fading light is
never missed, the precision control of the Time-lapse tool allows
you to set the time between each capture, the total number
of captures, as well as the delay at start. The tool respects all
existing camera modes and options, ensuring meticulous
accuracy and dependable captures.
Seismographic Vibration Delay
HDR Sequence Tool
Set your camera up to wait until the camera is absolutely still.
Image blur from camera shake can be the deciding factor
between a perfectly sharp or unacceptably soft image. The
XF Camera Systems Seismograph Vibration delay will wait
until the camera is absolutely still to capture your vision,
ensuring that no camera shake will ever be introduced into
the captured image.
Taking advantage of added Capture One 9.1 organization features,
the XF Camera System provides a tool intended for High
Dynamic Range editing after capture. The HDR tool of the XF
Camera System is similar to the bracketing feature but integrates
proprietary tags so images can easily be identified, selected
and edited in Capture One. The HDR Tool provides added
workflow options to minimize post-processing complications
and allow for easier integration with third-party applications.
BullsEye Level
HoneyBee Autofocus Update
Access this tool on the XF OneTouch UI to easily adjust the
alignment of the camera system, using the XF Camera Body’s
3 axis accelerometer. The BullsEye Level tool will ensure
the camera is perfectly set for special applications, such
as architecture, panoramic stitching or landscape imagery.
With the introduction of the XF Camera System came the
introduction of our proprietary Autofocus platform. Our HAP-1
system ensures that we can grow, customize and accelerate
autofocus to meet the needs of the world’s most demanding
photographers. Improvements have been made to increase
accuracy in low light conditions, ensure focus of various low
contrast materials in even light, and improved precision when
using the XF Camera System handheld with behavior changes
initiated from the systems several accelerometers.

New intuitive tool access and a clean look take the
OneTouch UI a step closer to perfection.
