[. . . ] See for yourself by checking out the image quality at: http:// www. hasselblad. com/products/vir tual-demo-over view/ hasselblad-image-quality. aspx the H3dii-39 camera system is made for the high-end commercialphotographer with demands for flexibility and ultimate image quality, including: · the freedom to choose between eye- and waist-level view-finders · the choice of combining point-and­shoot and tilt/shift to solve creative commercial challenges · the ability to combine working tethered and un-tethered to get the most of your camera system, both on location and in the studio · the option for working with multi-shot for ultimate detail reproduction · the option of processing your images in Hasselblad's Phocus imaging toolbox, or working with your raw images directly in Apple's Aperture. The H3DII camera system is available with three different sensor models, offering image capture with a sensor resolution of 31Mpixel, 39Mpixel or 50Mpixel. The H3DII-39 features Kodak's 39 Mpixel sensor, measuring 36×48mm, twice the physical size of the largest 35mm dSlR sensors. www. hasselblad. com digital CaMERaS Basic ISO rating is from ISO 50 to ISO 800. [. . . ] Phocus links GPS data directly to Google Earth, for example, making geographic reference a snap and image storage and retrieval much easier. The Phocus Viewer delivers image viewing quality that matches every detail of what you will see later in Photoshop. In addition, the Phocus Viewer allows you to customize layout and composition to suit your current or desired workflow, providing a wide range of options including full view, compare, browse, horizontal, or vertical view, and so on. You can have multiple folders open simultaneously for side-by-side viewing, comparison, and selection. Ultra-Focus and Digital Auto Correction for image perfection the H3dii-39 camera allows information from the lens and exact capture conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-fine 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 auto Correction" (DAC), is an APO-chromatic 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. Based upon these techniques, Hasselblad has been able to expand our lens program with a 28mm lens that has been especially developed for the H3DII product family. the design of this lens has been optimized for the actual 36x48mm area of the sensor to make it more compact and to work in conjunction with daC. this is a critical part of the technology behind capturing perfect images with this extraordinary lens. the result is clear: DAC increases image resolution and delivers perfect pixels, thereby providing an ideal basis for optimal image rendering.

In order to incorporate our new unique HNCS and DAC features, 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. In order to utilize DAC and optimize the colors of the DNG file format, conversion from 3FR must take place through Phocus. Modes of operation and storage The H3DII-39 offers a choice of storage devices: CF cards or a computer hard drive. 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. Options for working with tilt/shift Two basic options are available for tilt/shift work with H3DII-39. A simple, portable adapter solution and the classic view camera solution.
