formatlesorJPEGformat.ItispossibletostoreeitherRAW
orJPGorbothRAWandJPGsimultaneously.
HasselbladRAWlesareinitiallystoredinthe3FRformat
whichisaproprietaryHasselbladformatforthetemporary
storageofcaptures.A3FRlecontainsthecompletedigitized
rawimageexactlyasitwascapturedbythecamera.3FR
informationrequiresfurthercomputingpower(typicallyby
wayofPhocus)toobtaincompletedevelopment.Ifdeveloped
inPhocus,3FRlesbecomeHasselblad3Fles–denoted
byeachlenowbearingthesufx“.fff”.Ifdevelopedby
otherRAWprocessors,the3FRlesarenotconvertedto3F
butcanbeexporteddirectlytoTIFFandPSDaccordingto
requirements.
WhenworkingtetheredtoPhocusorPhocusMobile2,3FR
lesareautomaticallyprocessedandstoredintheback-
groundonacomputerappearingas3Flesontheharddisk
readyforselectiveadjustmentandexport.3FRlesstoredon
aSDcardcanbeprocessedusing:

Capturelescanbestoredforfutureuseas3FRles(froma
SDcard)forlaterprocessinginPhocusorothersoftware,or
theycanbestoredas3Fles(asaresultoftetheredshooting
or3FRlesprocessedandconvertedinPhocus).Inallcases
ifyoukeeptheoriginal3FR/3Fles,youwillalsoretainthe
possibilityofreprocessingtheminthefutureinlaterversions
ofPhocusorothersoftwaretotakeadvantageofeventual
