Guy,But it would be nice if they used the same numbering setup between the software and back. This way knowing let's say on location with back that 43 felt like a good number for example to use with a certain lens or scene when back at computer you could see by going up or down from that number how critical you where. Phase you listening hear. Also would be easier on user. My request was mentioned to Doug and maybe send this up the food chain.
I think myself the lower the number for folks would be easier to remember so let's change C1.
Unless there is a specific reason for the certain numbers and what it correlates to. I have no idea in C1
Just a thought
Why not embed the focus mask value used in the EXIF data for the raw image and have C1 Pro sync with it on an image by image basis? That's the way the DSLR's handle in camera settings with their raw converters. For example, in the Nikon world I could set up a particular tone curve for processing RAWs for rendering the histogram/jpg image and download it in to the camera. When loading RAW images back from the camera Nikon Capture NX2 would take that tone curve information and use it to render on the computer with the same settings, which obviously you could change.
I agree that the better approach would be to just make C1 Pro and the IQ backs match each other in terms of algorithm and settings. Have a legacy support mode for those who like the focus mask operation of C1 as it is today but otherwise move on ...
