User manual HASSELBLAD H4D-50MS DATASHEET V1

[. . . ] in this way, true detail and true color are acquired without interpolation of any kind. For stills photography it simply does not get better. When used outdoors or on location, the H4d-50MS can perform normal single-shot mode photography too. [. . . ] the 6×4. 5 cm window allows the Hasselblad H4d-50MS to use one of the largest image sensors currently available in digital photography ­ up to more than twice the size of a 35mm camera sensor. 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. an interchangeable waist-level viewfinder, the HVM, is available for the entire range of H system cameras. Unique Hasselblad Colors the new Hasselblad 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. GPS recording accessory Hasselblad's global image locator (gil) is an accessory for any H-based Hasselblad digital capture product. Using the gil device all images captured outdoors are tagged with gPS coordinates, time and altitude. this data is key to a number of future applications involving image archiving and retrieval. One example is the direct mapping of images within the coming Phocus software to google Earth. Modes of operation and storage the Hasselblad H4d-50MS offers a choice of storage devices: CF cards or a computer hard drive. With these two 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. www. hasselblad. com digital CaMERaS Single Shot the key to the single shot quality from a CCd sensor is due to the use of a Bayer Mosaic filter. this is a specific layout that is used in conjunction with software to interpret the colour data from the sensor. a single-shot system delivers one colour per pixel, and the remaining two channels must be estimated and calculated using a bestguess strategy. this is done in Hasselblad cameras by using algorithms that optimize colour rendition and sharpness without disturbing the perception of the human eye by the artefacts always present in raw single shot captures. Multi Shot High precision piezo motors control movements of the sensor in one pixel increments. By combining four shots, each offset by one pixel, the true colours, Red, green and Blue of each point are obtained. the result is full colour information from the sensor with no artefacts like moiré, common with single shot capture. Bayer mosaic pattern Shot no. Sensor moved up one pixel (6. 8 m) Shot no. Sensor moved one pixel to the left Shot no. The second green image is used to determine lighting and subject stability www. hasselblad. com digital CaMERaS Actual image sample the image of the armour was taken in both 1-shot and 4-shot mode to illustrate the increase in quality that the 4-shot mode produces. due to the fact that no guess-work has to be carried out, fine details in the subject are now rendered much better.
