Customizable workflow
The XF Camera System allows for a completely customized workflow, ensuring the camera is an integral, unencumbered extension to your creative process.
When used with the IQ4, flexible tethering, storage and power management options ensure that your work is both efficient and reliable. And on the XF itself, you are able to further customize the camera to suit your way of working by assigning actions to buttons and dials on the camera so that your most-used tools are right at your fingertips. The option to save up to 3 custom presets, so that you can easily switch to suit specific capture requirements, further lends itself to the needs of the working professional. These presets can be loaded into any XF Camera System effortlessly.
“When the system works the same way that I work, it’s like I’m shooting with a camera that was custom-built for me” – Paul Reiffer, Commercial photographer
