The "upcoming firmware" sounds intriguing .

Perfect fit!

Good evening all,

Hasselblad has just responded with the following after I sent them an fff file (which did not appear to display any pixel issue):


'Our R&D team confirmed that the issue do not affect the shooting as you mentioned that there is no pixel dot in the files while you transfer it to the Phocus.And the issue would be fixed in the upcoming firmware in June.We kindly recommend you to wait for the new firmware for this issue.Sorry if any inconvenience this might cause.'

Cheers.

Hi Paul,
I just purchased the X2D as well and noticed a couple of blue dots (and a red one) right away.
For me, they went away after I did the sensor calibration. Curious that the calibration didn't fix it for you. Hopefully, Hasselblad can shed some light.

Very likely.

Quote from: MGrayson on May 22, 2024, 12:28:16 AMMy copy of the XCD 25/2.5V has distinct coma on the left side. It doesn't show up (much) in daytime landscape pictures unless there is a bright background. For astro, it would be a pain.I first thought it was field curvature, but that is not the case. My copy also has some focus shift. If I want sharp infinity, I have to do it manually or focus stopped down. It is very sharp across the frame at f/8 - f/11.

Are you getting it replaced? My first copy of the 90V was defective and I had it replaced.

With any intervolmeter you will see slight gaps. Even set to 0 on an external style intervolmeter. There are software tools that can be used to close the gaps like "startracer". Requires use of a PC.

I wrote this short article discussing the gaps and how to fix them years ago when I was working the night sky for trails.

Do many X2D owners have experience of using a Leica Q3? I was wondering how much quicker the Q3 might be for street photography? Unsure if I should invest in a Q3 carry around as I mainly use the Blad for commercial work.

Quote from: pat m on May 21, 2024, 06:46:22 PMI Did you look at interval timer?

I did, but it seems the minimum interval between shots is 2 sec? Not sure if there's a way to lower that

One issue is how long it takes the camera to scan the sensor before it's ready to scan again. I've no idea.

There's a case for weighing passengers. After all if one weighs 75kg and another weighs in at 85kg then I'd argue to be able to carry 10kg more!  I know, . I think Air New Zealand tried it somewhat unsuccessfully many years ago.
