All updates are welcome---but I did find it mildly amusing the description in the first paragraph of the Phase One update of a "more agile XF Camera"

Thank you for posting the news! On the WiFi, I wonder if it is computer only or will it include iPad/iPhone control?

I think this is fantastic - even if we've had a long wait for the adhoc. As a recent XT devotee I'm particularly pleased.

My dealer says a new mobile app is coming.

Customisable Grids! Boom. I have been hoping for this for some time.
Lot's of good stuff there. My IQ4 is a workhorse and it's only getting better with each update.
Thanks PhaseOne!

Can an IQ3 be used to apply these updates to an XF?
Does anyone know of the new app will support old backs?

We were told that at least some, if not all, of the XF improvements will be applicable with IQ1/IQ2/IQ3, as well as IQ4.

Great to know that Steve! Happy to hear that P1 is still supporting the IQ3 owners.

Nice! Looking forward to it. Now I wonder/hope they’ve added longer exposure/flash sync support to DE+. Second to a corona vaccine, of course, that would make for a very merry Christmas indeed.

From my dealers press release: “This update is available for all XF Camera bodies regardless of what IQ digital back is present.”

Presumably this will present as an available XF firmware upgrade through all IQ backs.
I’m glad to see some signs of life from Phase; this is a long overdue, but welcome update! I wonder how the iOS app will perform.

Will ETTR be available for XT?

For the XF upgrade, the P1 website talks about a "combination of multiple component improvements". So, does this mean the we would have to ship the camera to Denmark for the installation of new components (same way that HAP2 was done) or would this be a firmware update. Or both?

This is all firmware, or funware, as I call it. So nothing needs to be shipped anywhere.

Will the mobile app be a full version of capture one? Or is that still a secret

Given the new M1 chip and the IQ4 capture one will have to run/runs on arm anyway...

 

[Aviv1887]

Does anybody know or has tried if one can combine the new lab ETTR function in combination with Dual Exposure +? That would make for a super fast one exposure "short cut".

I'm very curious as to the speed increase in using the XF, particularly with the leaf shutter lenses. I found the use of the leaf shutter with the XF unacceptably slow (a shutter lag of 1/3 second according to Imaging Resource!), and decided to stick with my Hasselblad H5x/IQ250 for the time being.
If this has been remedied with the new firmware, I would consider switching again.
Fingers crossed!
