An impressive lens line
The highly renowned HC/HCD lens line includes 11 Auto-Focus
lenses, all with central shutters. Range is from 28mm to 300mm,
50-110mm zoom, 35-90mm zoom and 1.7X converter. The HTS 1.5
tilt/shift adapter delivers an easy to use, portable tilt/shift solution
for 5 HC/HCD lenses ranging from 28mm to 100mm. The CF adapt-
er (optional accessory) allows use of the classic CF-lenses from the
Hasselblad V System, with full use of their central shutters, allow-
ing ash to be employed at shutter speeds up to 1/500s. The central
shutter also improves image quality by reducing camera vibration.
And thanks to the large format of the H System cameras, there is a
considerably shallower depth of eld range, making it much easier
to utilize selective focus to creative effect.
In this way the full HC
lens program is even further enhanced, bringing a new level of
sharpness and resolution.
Three modes of operation and storage
The H4D oers a storage choice of either CF cards or a direct compu-
ter hard drive connection. With these three operating and storage
options, you are able to select a mode to suit the nature of the work
in hand, whether in the studio or on location.

True Focus
True Focus helps solve one of the most lingering challenges that fac-
es serious photographers today: true, accurate focusing through-
out the image field. The traditional solution for most DSLRs has
been to equip the camera with a multi-point AF sensor but it only
resolves some issues. To overcome this problem, Hasselblad has
used modern yaw rate sensor technology to measure angular ve-
locity in an innovative way. The result is the new Absolute Position
Lock (APL) processor, which forms the foundation of Hasselblad’s
True Focus feature.
·
Ultra-Focus
Ultra-Focus allows information from the lens and exact capture
conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-ne-tuning
of the auto-focus mechanism, taking into account the design spec-
ications of the lens and the optical specications of the sensor.
·
DAC
“Digital Auto Correction” (DAC), is an APO-chromatic correction
of the images based on a combination of the various parameters
concerning each specic lens for each specic shot, ensuring that
each image represents the best that your equipment can produce.
