I first heard about FoCal about a year ago but put off buying it because of the price for the Pro version (which is needed if you have lenses over 400mm) and some of the reviews I read about the software being confusing or difficult to connect.
For a full list of all the changes in version 2.9, check out the news post on Reikan's website. The calibration software is also speeding up their capture and analysis methods so that these tests will overlap. Not all changes were under the hood, however, and FoCal has some UI improvements to show more information about the connected camera and even support for dark and light themes.įoCal 2.9 is also bringing "faster, more reliable" communication for connected Canon cameras to Windows, something that Mac users received in a previous update.

Included with each FoCal Plus purchase is the licence key to use FoCal Plus with supported cameras on both Windows and Mac operating systems.įoCal runs on your computer and connects to the camera using a USB cable (supplied with cameras).
