VIEWING THE FIRST CAPTURE ON A COMPUTER OR

AN IPAD/IPHONE

With an iPad or iPhone that meets the requirements, you can

use Phocus Mobile 2 which is a free download from the Apple

App Store. How to use this app is described in detail in the

dedicated user guide for Phocus which is our software for Mac

and PC. Both the user guide and Phocus can be downloaded

from www.hasselblad.com.

To view the image/images on a computer, connect the camera

to the computer with the supplied USB cable. The SD card will

show up in the Mac Finder Windows Explorer.

You can also use an external card reader. For best perfor-

mance, you should use a USB-3 version of the card reader.

Note! Do not remove the card from the camera while the

status LED is blinking.

The default setting of the camera is to store RAW images. It

can be changed to store both RAW and Jpeg or Jpeg only.

See page 77. Jpeg les can be used in any application that

supports images.

To use the RAW le in Phocus, follow the procedure below.

1 Start Phocus.

2 Connect the camera to the computer or place the SD card

in a connected card reader.

3 After a few seconds, the image/images will appear in the

lower program panel (A).

4 To be able to view the image in the large viewer window,

it must rst be imported. Click on the image to import and

then click the “Import” icon in the top panel (B).

5 In the dialogue that appears, select a folder for the import-

ed RAW le (C).

6 Finally click on “Import” (D).

7 After a few seconds, the image will appear in the main

Viewer Window (E) and you can use all the tools to change

the look as you like. Please study the Phocus user guide for

more information.

Note!

Alternatively, you can also use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or

Adobe Photoshop to directly open the RAW images from the

card.

Note!

You can read images from the SD card in the camera when

it is connected with a USB cable. You cannot however, write

any images or les to the card. For this, an SD card reader is

required.
