is it possible to do a seperate white balance for live preview again?

I deeply miss that feature which was still available on 6.4 and is just a necessity when shooting with strobes in the studio.

What is the problem with the update to Phocus 3.7.3? (I had no problems with 3.7.2.)

Microsoft warned about the update but I did it anyway
....and then Norton came up and said there was no valid digital signature ?

In terms of the WB option, no the tool remains greyed out (not available).

Although the camera orientation is now respected when running live view on X1D II or CFV II. The Live View images just shows a cropped, bottom half of the view and so is pretty unusable.

Apart from the custom flash delay option available on 3.7.2/3 when focus stacking, versions 3.6.3/4 seem to be more practical for studio shooting with the X1DII / 907x cameras.

A small request when next tethering;  if you have a remote and either a x1DII or 907x, could you check whether the camera responds to triggering it whilst it is also tethered: with the X1D mine does, but not with my X1DII. Thanks.

Same problem, I had to unblock 3 times the installation, windows firewall, no security certificate and Norton security checks.

No problem with Mac OS (Monterey).

I'm working on the 907x but have no remote, sorry.

What I did test though, is using the Phocus mobile app to trigger the camera (which is my workaround if me and the camera are both far from the tethered computer :-) )

On 3.7.3 using phocus mobile 2.3.4 I cannot trigger the camera anymore. Phocus also crashes when I try to use Live view on the phone.

Everything does work nicely with 3.6.4 though, so this seems to be a problem with 3.7.3 and phocus mobile.

Also on 3.7.3 phocus stacking or any kind of Sequence do not work with my 907x. It just won't trigger. Nothing happens if I press the play button. Works fine on 3.6.4. though.
