XF Camera System Manual |
HyperFocal Tool
Advanced Focus Stack settings
Note that it is possible to introduce a small delay between each capture when
doing focus stacking. This might be necessary when shooting with a flash
system that needs a few seconds to recharge. You choose the delay by
tapping on the advanced tool option icon and selecting the desired time from
Capture Delay, specified in seconds.
The advanced options also let you change whether the tool should calculate
the optimal number of images automatically with the Image Count option.
Setting this to Manual will disable the auto-calculate feature.
Re-using Focus Stack settings
The Focus Stack Tool will remember the settings used even if the XF Camera
have been turned o. The settings will be saved until the lens is changed.
Supported lenses for Automatic Focus Stack Calculator
Currently (as of XF Feature Update #4 SR1) the Automatic Focus Stack
Calculator are supported on the following Schneider Kreuznach lenses (both
Blue Ring and non-Blue Ring):
• 35mm LS f/3.5
• 55mm LS f/2.8
• 80mm LS f/2.8
• 110mm LS f/2.8 Macro
• 120mm LS f/4.0 Macro
• 240mm LS f/4.5 IF
• Additionally, the Phase One 120mm AF Macro f/4.0 is also supported.
Focus Stack Tool and Capture One
Once you have created the images to be used in the focus stack, you can
bring them into Capture One (or if you already shot the images tethered,
which is also possible). In Capture One 9.1 and later, you will be able to easily
select all images by the Sequence ID metatag created by the XF Camera. Now
you can create a smart folder or a selection of these images. When you are
done editing, you can output them and stack them using your preferred focus
stacking software.
Hyperfocal Tool
Next to the Focus Stack Tool when swiping left on the XF Top Screen, is the
Hyperfocal tool. Hyperfocal tool is designed to set your lens hyperfocal
position. The hyperfocal position is the point or marker many photographers set
on their lens to easily adjust focus to the hyperfocal distance when shooting
landscapes. The Hyperfocal Tool is described in more detail later in this
manual. Please read ahead to get more information on this tool.
