You asked…we listened. V1.21 brings quite a few extra features, and is available immediately for download here. The changelog of major items is as follows:
For the X1D:
- AF support is now present for all HC lenses (except the 120 macro) – firmware is lodged under individual lenses on the download site
- Interval timer
- Bracketing
- Manual eyedropper WB tool
- Auto ISO shutter speed limits (with both 1/fl multiple and 1/shutter speed options, of course)
- Custom button options now include interval timer, manual WB, bracketing etc.
- Long press of the AF-D button during playback goes to 100% actual pixel view at the focus point
- During EVF playback, the rear display acts as a touchpad to scroll/browse images
- During rear screen playback, LV now starts immediately when switching to the EVF to reduce capture time.
- Tethered image import for Phocus over USB
For the H6D (all three versions):
- Manual eyedropper WB tool
- Setting profiles
- Tethered image import for Phocus over USB
- Audio notifications – H4/5 users will remember this as confirmations that an image is shot, camera ready, over/underexposure etc. in addition to the usual focus beeps
- Long press of the True Focus button during playback to go to 100% actual pixel view
- Use of rear screen as touchpad for browse/scroll when a HDMI monitor is connected
I think you’ll agree this is a solid set of additions – auto ISO limits, playback functions and manual WB are particularly useful. Lastly, yes, I am testing an XCD 21mm at the moment… MT
