Tweaking the factory presets for a better image can be a pain in camera. Luckily for the owners of the XHA1 and XHG1, Canon had the foresight to include a way to edit the settings on your computer with all of the adjustments in front of you. Unfortunately, the software costs an extra $600 (
Studio Daily review). This might be a bargain if you own a supported camera and plan to tweak the image controls to your heart's content, but what if you are just renting or borrowing the camera for the weekend? Sure there is a trial, but it is limited.
Lucky for you there is
XH Tuner provided by
slashCAM for free. Sure it's not as glitzy and glammy but if you wanna tweak, tweak, tweak away you will have to try this out. XH Tuner requires Windows, the .NET 2.0 framework (
download here), and an SD card reader to read/write the settings to. Great work slashCAM!
