Head over to the Camera > Camera Tools page and hit the Sync Camera Time button to set the time on your camera: If your camera time isn’t correct, you’ll be shown a warning then you connect to the camera. For now this offers an option to synchronise the camera time (there will be more functionality coming to this page in future releases). Under the Camera menu, there’s a new option of Camera Tools. The Release Notes contain a comprehensive list of changes.
Integrated Documents/Target Images – the documents are now installed as part of FoCal and you can get easy access from the Help menu.New Metadata Processor – decoding of image metadata is now faster and more accurate with our native, integrated processor.Improved Comparison Data – we’ve added extra metrics to show how your gear performs compared to other users in the areas of distortion, colour aberrations and image motion.Improvements to Results Display – most results are now rated as poor, acceptable, good or excellent and displayed in colour to indicate this rating, making it much clearer to understand what’s good and what’s not so good with your gear.Camera Tools: Time Synchronisation – for years, FoCal has informed you if your camera clock doesn’t match your computer clock, but now with the click of a button you can set your camera to the right time, including time zone and daylight savings time settings where possible.Last year, we made a huge change to the look and feel of FoCal, and felt a big name change would highlight this difference with FoCal 2020, followed soon after by FoCal 2021.įeedback from users and the idea of “FoCal 2021 part 2” or some other addition to 2021… it starts getting confusing, we’ve reverted back to (almost) the original naming convention and here we are at FoCal 3! New NamingįoCal naming followed a standard pattern for years… 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 through to 2.13. This release contains a lot of internal enhancements, bug fixes and usability improvements, laying the foundation for exciting new features, functionality and products due soon while also improving the usefulness of results presented within FoCal. In the meantime I thought I'd at least point anyone looking to get their cameras and lenses "perfect" might want to take a look at it.We’re delighted to announce the full, general availability release of Reikan FoCal 3!

If it's truly "the coolest software ever" I'll let you guys know. I have the Spyder focus calibration gadget that I use to manually do it, so I'm not planning on immediately dropping any money on this, but I do want to check it out next time I'm at my brothers. I'm not thrilled that there's a limit to the number of cameras it allows you to use it with, though I understand why they might do this ("Hey, c'mon over and I'll calibrate your camera and lens for $25!!"). The "Pro" version is about $100 depending on the daily exchange rate. Nikons covered are all the FX cameras and the D7000/D7100.

Seems to be slightly more "automated" on Canon than Nikon likely due to what the USB interface can and cannot do, but my understanding is that it all works the same but there is manual intervention involved on the Nikon side that approximately doubles the time required to produce your numbers (from 1-2 to 3-4 minutes, or so it says). Overly simplified, it seems you connect your camera to your computer with the software installed via USB cable, print out their charts, go through the proper steps and it will produce the optimized set of calibration numbers for your camera lens combination. What hewas talking about is Reikan FoCal Automated Camera/Lens Calibration software. It works like a charm! Make sure you read ALL the documentation before using it though, there is a bit of a learning curve."
