Stop guessing. Start hitting.

You’ve invested in the best glass and the fastest sensors, but even the world’s finest camera gear is only as good as its focus. Today, we’re excited to introduce FoCal 5.0 – a release that takes everything you know about calibration and elevates it to a whole new level.

We’ve stripped back the code and overhauled the engine to bring you a redesigned look and feel alongside a massive upgrade to our underlying framework. Whether you’re shooting on a legacy DSLR or the latest mirrorless powerhouse, FoCal 5.0 delivers a faster, smoother, and more surgical approach to getting the sharpest images possible.

What’s New?

• Next-Gen Framework: A brand-new underlying architecture for significantly improved stability and speed.

• Precision Analysis: An improved image analysis engine for even more accurate results, plus updated RAW and metadata processors.

• Enhanced Connectivity: Updates to the camera communication protocols and network updates for more reliable Wi-Fi and Ethernet operation.

• Visual Improvements: A new graphics library for superior image rendering, and refreshed PDF report content and generation.

• Feature Refinements: Improvements to the Scores feature, FoCal Database post-test analysis, and Nikon Snapshots.

• Bug fixes: They say in this world, nothing is certain except death, taxes… and software bugs! We’ve squashed a swarm of little ones and a few “bigger nasties,” making this the most solid and reliable FoCal experience yet.
