Nick,

The combined hbf file does not load with either Phocus Mac 1.1.2 nor Flexcolor 4.8.8.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Bob

It doesn't work for me on Phocus either. All I get is a message saying' failed to read file'. About as informative as 'this page intentionally left blank'

With the New version, Phocus 1.1.3, I can upgrade the firmware without problem. All OK.

But... in H3D-39: only 32 sec... and 400 ISO...

saludos,
jose.

It works with 1.1.3

H3DII31 ISO 1600 is very bad, useless, haven't seen that much noise since nikon D200 at iso 800... its even worse than D3 at ISO 256000

32 Sec max...

Basically made happy with a dead bird..

Sorry, I cannot tell you. I just did the firmware upgrade and with my CF39 & H2F I don't get anything!!! No ISO800 and certainly not the longer exposure! Does my disappointment show? 

[jeff.grant@pobox.com]

Updating to 1.1.3 fixed it. However, I get ISO 400 and 32 seconds on an H3D.

I have updated my firmware and tested my H3D31 at 1600. If you us the noise level reduction in phocus, the result is rather good. On the back screen it's horrible

I wonder if the 400 and 800 iso noise level have been also improved ! May someone from Hasselblad or a tester could tell us ! I've have to check myself (for me 800 was not really usable before the update)

Had me worried as I could only find  H3DII-50 FW downloads but I was only on the .co.uk site so that problem solved by switching to the .com site (Global?)

Off down to 'Focus on imaging 09' at the NEC Birmingham Wednesday to try out the 50 and HST

thanks
