The Camera Conguration tool in Phocus oers a very thorough and secure way of creating comprehensive proles for the
H5D. There are three windows – Controls, Exposure and General – that present virtually all parameters to enable total control
at the press of a button. This means that separate and specific custom profiles created in advance can cover a number of
shooting scenarios leaving virtually nothing to chance. In addition these profiles can be easily imported and exported. For
instance, you can create a special profile to suit a specific type of shoot and keep it on a memory stick or laptop. So, when
renting an H5D for example, you only have to upload the saved profile to ensure that all parameters have been reset with-
out you having to go through each detail – simple and secure.
The interface has three tabs at the top, Controls, Exposure and General, that access the windows. Descriptive information ap-
pears as you mouse over the various menus and extra tool tips are additionally available as an option. To take an example,
the Controls window is illustrated here. On the left are two lists: Camera and Library. The Camera list includes the various
available configuration profiles already stored in the camera – the profile currently in use as well as the default settings and
those you have created or imported from other sources. Library contains the factory presets stored on disk.
