QuoteFixed a bug that could cause battery drain in power off mode.

Yes!! [I thought it was a feature]

Did the upgrade, including lens 5.13 Firmware for the 30/45/90. Worked like a charm.

Love the crop mode selection on the function button....especially Square ("6x6") with 50% opaque overlay.

Great update - Happy Holiday Season!

Kudos to Hasselblad. Not much left on my "wish list". Live histogram would be nice but it's not a "must have" for me. I hope a future update offers AF with my HC 210mm lens and the XH adapter.

Merry Christmas!

What a Christmas present! The firmware updates this last half year have made the X1D stable and eminently useable.

What has happened to the lens release plan? The 22 supposedly was to come first half of 2018. Will there be an 210?

Merry Christmas Göteborg!

Instead of a 210mm lens, there will be a 135mm lens with a dedicated 1.7x converter. Depending upon how compromised the optical quality is with the converter compared to a dedicated 210mm, this COULD be a brilliant decision.

Go here (http://static.hasselblad.com/2014/11/Release-Notes-XCD-0_5_13.pdf) for instructions on updating XCD lenses and here (http://static.hasselblad.com/2014/11/X-Lens_v0_5_13.cim) to download the lens firmware.

Hope this helps.

Great update. Updated my 100mm (the only one on the list I own) and it works really much better than I was expecting. My 210 is the older version. I don't expect that one to be supported but I do have new 24mm and 150mm's I'd like to see with AF.

I'd still like to see:
* faster startup times.
* zoom in image replay in EVF
* improvements in the flash compatibility with my Godox triggers (nikon type)

Still some important things on my wish list. How about the ability to set a slowest shutter speed when using auto iso and aperture priority?

Add Auto ISO in manual.

Now that we have an XPAN crop ... would like to make it shiftable within the 645 frame ... so you can do a rise or fall .... rather than tilting the camera.

For me, the most important update in this one is the ability to write backup copies of images to the second card.

The idea of traveling and having only one set of images until I get home is very unsettling for me. Having a spare copy of everything helps protect me against the rare card failure or the loss/theft of baggage on the way home.

Also, having the battery not drain on me if I forget to pop the battery for a second after powering down will be nice too (haven't tested that yet to see if its reliably fixed).

Turns out that the file imported directly into LR does not show a crop ... setting a crop ratio in Library module to match the output of Phocus duplicates the result ...
however if you go into Develop module and click on the crop tool you can pan the crop up and down ... rise and fall with verticals undistorted.

Today I asked Hasselblad on the webinar whether the crop would be picked up by Adobe LR or PS. The response was that Hasselblad is working closely with Adobe to make that happen. Stay tuned.

Gordon

That feature is now available.

To my thinking the preview in the EVF is the best part of this new firmware update. I can now preview (zoom and pan!) in the EVF without having to find a shady spot to see the preview on the main screen. And it saves so much time, no need to move away from the EVF.

Thanks. Made me look again. It took me a while to work out how to do it using the AF-D and AE-L buttons because I was so used to double tapping the screen.

My concern is if it picks up the crop in LR and you lose the ability to pan for a rise or fall we may lose a bit.

LR picks up the Leica Q´s crop modes. And you can revert to the uncropped full raw.

After upgrade to 1.20 my factory spirit level is off and I feel that the camera is getting warmer than before. Have you noticed this as well?
Title: Re: Major firmware update
Post by: Buddy on December 27, 2017, 04:40:41 AM
fw 1.20, spirit level still there, just press a few times the square button to display.
Title: Re: Major firmware update
Post by: urbmyr on December 27, 2017, 10:38:02 AM
Yes it's still there but the angle is not correct. The vertical is not correct.

I noticed that too on a DEMO X1D I bought a couple of weeks ago.
Both, vertical and horizontal were not correct.
So apparently, the problem could be already there on some cameras and before the 1.20 firmware.

Now, how can I fix this?
Because it's the first time I have that on a new camera. Never had that before on any of my cameras.
Please don't tell me that I'll have to do it manually, cuz how will I be sure that it will be correct?


Thank you, enjoy your day

Hi, I did not make the upgrade yet. Concerned about this heating problem related by a few people here. Anyone heard from Hasselblad about that? Is the camera really getting warmer then before?

No. I checked indoors, because it is -10F outside.

Two easy choices ... bubble level that slides onto the hotshoe ... or get the carpenter app for the iPhone ... it has a level that is exact.

So put the camera on a tripod and level it vertically and horizontally ... then in the setting for the internal level ...calibrate.

The manual describes how to calibrate the level.

I have not had heating problems and am using the current firmware.
