Creating a prole
1 Open Camera Conguration located under the Windows
menu.
2 Connect the camera and in the Camera list click on a prole
you want to change or a spare pro le and name it.
3 Cycle through the three windows, Controls, Exposure and
General, making the appropriate selections that you require.
When complete, select the new pro le and drag and drop or
right click it to store in the Library.
4 Right click the Library version of the prole to access the
Transfer Prole Set to Camera option then click on OK to
complete the action. This causes the new prole to appear
on the grip display for selection when you click on the

The Camera Conguration tool in Phocus offers a very thorough
and secure way of creating comprehensive proles for the H6D.
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 specic
custom proles created in advance can cover a number of
shooting scenarios.
In addition these proles can be easily imported and exported.
For instance, you can create a special prole to suit a specic
type of shoot and keep it on a memory stick or laptop. So, when
renting an H6D for example, you only have to upload the saved
prole to ensure that all parameters have been reset without
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
appears 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 conguration proles already stored in the camera –
the prole currently in use as well as the default settings and
those you have created or imported from other sources. Library
contains the factory pre-sets stored on disk.
