[. . . ] the CF adapter allows use of the classic CF-lenses from the Hasselblad V-camera, with full use of their central shutters, allowing flash to be employed at shutter speeds down to 1/500s. and thanks to the large format of the H System cameras, there is a considerably shallower depth of field range, making it much easier to utilize selective focus to creative effect. Medium Format digital capture advantage in digital photography, the advantages of large format cameras have become even more obvious. the basic 6×4. 5 cm design allows the H4d-50 to use one of the largest image sensors currently available in digital photography. 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. 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-50 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.

Without multi-point auto-focus a typical autofocus camera can only correctly measure focus on a subject that is in the center of the image. When a photographer wants to focus on a subject outside the center area, they have to lock focus on the subject and then re-compose the image. in short distances especially, this re-composing causes focus error, as the plane of focus sharpness follows the camera's movement, perpendicular to the axis of the lens. the traditional solution for most dSlR cameras has been to equip the camera with a multi-point aF sensor. these sensors allow the photographer to fix an off-center focus point on an off-center subject, which is then focused correctly. You can have multiple folders open simultaneously for side-by-side viewing, comparison, and selection. Digital Lens Correction and Ultra-Focus for image perfection the H4d-50 camera allows information from the lens and exact capture conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultrafine-tuning of the auto-focus mechanism, taking into account the design specifications of the lens and the optical specifications of the sensor. in this way the full HC/HCd lens program is even further enhanced, bringing a new level of sharpness and resolution. 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.
