H6D firmware update

bernardl · August 30, 2017, 11:07:44 AM

Any clue as to whether we will get a new H6D-100c firmware improving its electronic shutter mode (current pinhole mode) to match the new X1D capability?

Cheers,
Bernard

Is it safe to assume that there will be no further updates for the H6 range? Gone ominously quiet.

Yes, I noticed this also. I don't know who can provide an answer.

I can see why people might think that with all the buzz around the X1D but I can assure you it's not the case, development on the H platform continues apace.

I don't know anything about upcoming firmware though sorry.

Thank's Nick. But, "if" you speak to them, please would you ask about reinstating the measured white balance tool, and the reinstating of Profiles..as mentioned in the H6 user manual? Plus, when will Phocus mobile be available on Android..again as mentioned in the H6 user manual? Big ask, but much appreciative of any answers you can get out of them.

Hi guys,

The next H6D firmware update is just around the corner. Please stay tuned!

Also, thank you for the feedback regarding the white balance tool, profiles, android app, electronic shutter mode, etc. The R&D team will be noted and the suggestions will be evaluated.

Cheers,
Bro

Firmware 1.19.0 is for Hasselblad X1D-50c
not for the H6D, rem.

No problem. Enjoy.

I am really wondering how Hasselblad is selecting the functions they include in these updates.

Most users would far prefer to have back up function rather than these.

Disappointed.
