3.26 CAMERA CONFIGURATION IN PHOCUS

The Camera Configuration tool in Phocus offers a very thorough
and secure way of creating comprehensive profiles for the X1D.
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.
For instance, you can create a special profile to suit a specific
type of shoot and keep it on a memory stick or laptop. So, when
renting an X1D for example, you only have to upload the saved
profile to ensure that all parameters have been reset without
you having to go through each detail – simple and secure.
The interface has three tabs at the top, Controls, Exposure
and General, that access the windows. Descriptive information
appears as you mouse over the various menus and extra tool
tips are additionally available as an option. To take an example,
the Controls window is illustrated here. On the left are two
lists: Camera and Library. The Camera list includes the various
available configuration profiles already stored in the camera –
the profile currently in use as well as the default settings and
those you have created or imported from other sources. Library
contains the factory pre-sets stored on disk.
