User manual HASSELBLAD H4D40 BROCHURE

[. . . ] If building our cameras from lighter, cheaper materials means compromising on image quality ­ we don't do it. If getting a slightly higher ISO means compromising on image quality ­ well, you get the point. 5 Uncompromising Image Quality You are most likely aware of the dramatic developments in the 35mm DSLR world that have taken place in recent years. What you may not be aware of is the fact that Medium Format DSLRs have evolved equally dramatically, maintaining ­ and even in some cases increasing ­ the quality gap that has always existed between small format and larger format systems. Today, more than ever, a Hasselblad DSLR is a crucial component in any serious photographic arsenal, providing the perfect tool for any application where image quality is important and giving you a level of image quality that 35mm systems cannot deliver. [. . . ] Customized Profiles and Easy Interface The H4D-40 provides quick and easy setup for specific shooting styles using default or personal profiles. A single button press lets you load your preferred profile and the H4D-40 will be setup for action, with AF-mode, aperture/exposure time, user button configuration, etc predefined according to your preferences. The entire user interface can be easily controlled from both camera wheels or menus, according to preference. IAA for Quick and Easy Classification Our IAA feature provides an enhanced set of feedback tools that help you focus on the shoot rather than the selection process. Classification stats are recorded both in the file and in the file name, providing a quick and easy way to classify and select images, in the field or back at the studio If you can't find it ­ build it: Hasselblad 3FR Several of our unique image improvement features would not be possible at all without our proprietary raw file format, the Hasselblad 3F RAW (3FR). This file format includes lossless image compression, which reduces the storage space required by 33%. 3FR files are processed by Hasselblad's Phocus software to deliver the ultimate Hasselblad image quality. The 3FR files are also open for direct entry into an Apple or Adobe imaging environment. 11 "With a Hasselblad, you know that you're holding the best tool you can have in your camera bag. " STEvE MCCURRY Toast at long exposure, 161 seconds SIzE STILL MATTERS #4: ExTENDED ExPOSURE TIMES Having one of the world's largest sensors doesn't have to mean short exposure times. In our pursuit of the ultimate image quality, however, Hasselblad has developed a special application that corrects even the smallest of imperfections. This special lens correction system (DAC) uses data from our advanced intra-system communication to ultra-fine-tune each image, ensuring that color aberration, distortion, and vignetting are removed automatically and seamlessly with all HC/HCD lenses. DAC even refines images shot with the Carl Zeiss C/F/CF-lens line, based upon manual input of the necessary parameters. Ultra-Focus The H4D-40 camera also allows information from the lens and exact capture conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-fine-tuning of the AF mechanism, taking into account the lens design and the sensor specifications and resulting in an entirely new level of sharpness and resolution HCD 4/28 HC 3. 5/35 HC 3. 5/50 HC 2. 8/80 HC 2. 2/100 14 15 HC Macro 4/120 HCD 4/28 This retro focus lens has a 95' diagonal angle of view making it the most extreme wide-angle lens presently available in the medium-format. Outstanding results are achieved throughout the focusing range exhibiting excellent corner-to-corner sharpnes HC 3. 2/150 HC 4/210 HC 4. 5/300 HC 3. 5-4. 5/50-110 HCD 4-5. 6/35-90 Converter H1. 7x boasts exceptionally high image quality at all focal length settings, whether shooting film or digital, and is comparable with corresponding fixed focal length lenses. and stray light are extremely well controlled. HC 2. 8/80 The 2. 8/80 is the standard lens for the H system. The highperformance design ensures great color correction, a flat image plane, and low distortion. The large aperture facilitates photography in poor light and provides a bright viewfinder image. A lens suited for almost any task in general photography. it a very versatile lens not only for close-up work but general applications too where a slightly long lens is required. HC 3. 2/150 An ideal portrait lens, providing the ideal perspective for head and shoulder portraits. Also very suitable for landscape photography. HCD 4-5. 6/35-90 The result of our constant striving for ultimate performance, the new HCD 4. 0-5. 6/35-90 zoom lens combines our advanced optical design models and the H-system's unique digital lens correction with a new aspheric lens element design to create what we think is the highest performing zoom lens on the market today. HC 3. 5/35 A retro focus lens with 89° diagonal angle of view. This lens offers outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness, low dispersion glass, even illumination, and features an advanced optical design with rear focus mechanism to ensure high performance even at the close focusing range. HC 4/210 A useful length lens that meets the demands of landscape work, for example, while also providing a longer portrait lens. HC 2. 2/100 The 100 mm is a fast lens particularly suited to low-light situations or for action shots where higher shutter speeds are required. The slightly longer than standard length coupled with its shorter depth-of-field makes it an interesting choice for portraits too in many instances. HC 4. 5/300 The 300mm lens is the longest lens in the present HC lens range. It has a fast autofocus reaction making it suitable for certain sports and wildlife applications. Converter H1. 7x The Converter 1. 7 attaches between the lens and body to increase the focal length by a factor of 1. 7. This provides a convenient way to expand your range of lenses. HC 3. 5/50 An all-round, wide-angle lens. A versatile all-purpose lens, incorporating a moderate wide-angle effect, and featuring advanced optical design with rear focus mechanism. Corner-to-corner illumination is very even at all aperture settings, and distortion HC Macro 4/120 The Macro 120 mm has exceptionally high performance making HC 3. 5-4, 5/50-110 The HC 50-110 mm zoom lens has a range from wide-angle to short telephoto.
