Hasselblad released a new firmware update version 1.22 to support the latest 65, 80, and 135 XCD lenses. This update also includes a list of minor improvements for the X1D- 50c mirrorless medium format camera:
Support of Newest Lenses
The XCD 2,8/65, XCD 1,9/80 and XCD 2,8/135 are added to the lineup of supported lenses for the X1D-50c. Note that these lenses must also be updated to firmware 0.5.33 as well.
New Exposure Bracketing option
It is now possible to set an initial delay in order to avoid camera shake on long exposures.
Indication of Auto Focus Scan Range in Live View
With lenses that support divided scan range of Near, Far, or Full, a visual icon will be shown in Live View indicating when Near or Far settings are enabled. Currently the XCD 120 and XCD 135 lenses support this feature.
Customizable icon arrangement on main menu screen
Drag and drop icons to rearrange quick-access shortcuts to settings and options on the X1D-50c’s main menu screen.
New Custom Button options
Three new custom button options are available, including Live View On/Off, Drive to Near (mini- mum focus distance) and AF Scan Range Cycle.
New Self Timer option
It is now possible to turn off the front flashing LED during the Self Timer countdown.
AF with HC/HCD Lenses and Converters/Extension Tubes
Autofocus for compatible HC/HCD Lenses via the XH Adapter includes expanded support of select H System lens accessories including extension tubes and select adapters.
Reset Focus point in Live View
Set Focus Point back to the centre directly while in Live View by pressing the Cross (X) Button.
