Phocus 4.0

Phocus 4.0 Desktop Version seems to have severe bugs.
It simply crashes if one wants to apply the new HNNR noise reduction.
The other thing is that using the import button doesn‘t transform the 3fr to the more condensed fff format, but creates another 3fr file.
Maybe this is because now the 3fr files can be edited directly and fff doesn’t have importance any longer.
But if you work tethered then a fff file is saved to the computer.

All very confusing…
 
Somebody suggested that on camera, the X2D, that you hit Skip when first connected, and then the import works as expected. That was in response to a similar post. I can’t see how it made a difference. I’ll text later.

The tethering is not the problem. But just the use of Phocus Desktop. If you click on a 3fr file to open the context menu then import will just create another 3fr file. If you click on HNNR then the program will crash… that‘s the issue!!
 
I never mentioned tethering. In reply to the same 3FR issue, somebody replied that changing to skip on camera resolved the issue and that you then got FFF files from Phocus. It didn't make much sense to me, thought I'd share it though
 
and no. that , not surprisingly, didn't work. you must select mass storage on camera to connect to a Mac. and imported 3fr files remain 3fr when I import using Phocus /. import and not FFF

I guess we'll need Phocus 4.01
 
oops

READ ME file says one can edit directly from the 3FR ...
