Phocus Mobile by Hasselblad offers an intuitive interface and powerful editing tools that elevate mobile photography to a professional level.

Phocus Mobile allows users to remotely control a Hasselblad camera and provides functionality for basic image browsing and rating. The application is designed to connect to a host device, which can be the Phocus software by Hasselblad running on Mac or Windows, or directly to compatible cameras including the H5D, H6D, and X1D models equipped with WiFi capabilities. It should be noted that for direct connections to X1D II, CFV II cameras, and newer models, users will require Phocus Mobile 2.

The camera control feature of Phocus Mobile enables users to adjust settings such as aperture, shutter speed, exposure mode, and more. Users have the ability to trigger functions like auto-focus, mirror movement, and image capture directly from the app. The interface of the control panel closely resembles the camera's own UI for seamless operation. Additionally, users can access live view from the camera and zoom in up to 100% while browsing images. Basic image metadata is also displayed.

Phocus Mobile is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices running iOS 13.0 or later.
