[. . . ] the H4d-40 features CCd sensor measuring 32. 9 × 43. 8mm - almost twice the physical size of the largest 35mm dSlR sensors. Consequently the sensor holds more and larger pixels, which deliver the highest possible image quality in terms of moiré-free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces. Basic iSO rating is from iSO 100 to iSO 1600. the H4d-40 makes use of a new high speed capture architecture capturing full size, compressed 50Mbyte images at the rate of 1. 1 seconds per capture, working either mobile or tethered to a computer. the combination of these features makes the H4d-40 the natural choice for the professional commercial photographer wanting to work with the highest image quality within a camera system that supports ultimate creative expression in order to deliver outstanding images to satisfy the most demanding customer. A choice of bright viewfinders One of the important traditional advantages of the medium format is the extra-large and bright viewfinder image, enabling extremely precise compositions and easy operation in dim lighting. the H4d-40 comes with the HVd 90x viewfinder designed for full performance over the large sensor. Hasselblad has added an interchangeable waist-level viewfinder, the HVM, for the entire range of H system cameras. the bright and large viewfinder image is ideal for creative composing and the photographer is able to shoot in the fashion that suits them most; maintaining eye contact with the model, or gaining impact by shooting from a point lower than eye-level, for example. Hasselblad's unique natural colors Hasselblad's Natural Color Solution (HNCS) enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with skin tones, specific product colors and other difficult tones reproduced easily and effectively. in order to incorporate our new unique HNCS and daCfeatures we have developed a custom Hasselblad raw file format called 3F RaW (3FR). this file format includes lossless image compression, which reduces the required storage space by 33%. the 3FR files can be converted into adobe's raw image format dNg (`digital Negative'), bringing this new technology standard to the professional photographer for the first time. An impressive lens line outperforming the Carl Zeiss icons the highly renowned HC/HCd lens line includes 11 auto-Focus lenses, all with central lens shutters. digital correction for color aberration and distortion is also added. "digital lens Correction" (daC), is an automatic correction of the images based on a combination of the various parameters concerning each specific lens for each specific shot, ensuring that each image represents the best that your equipment can produce. Accessories including GPS Recording Flexibility Hasselblad's global image locator (gil) is an accessory for use with any Hasselblad H-System digital capture product. With the gil device, all images captured outdoors are tagged with gPS coordinates, time and altittude. this data provides the key to a number of future applications involving image archiving and retrieval. One example is the direct mapping of images in Phocus software to the google Earth application.
