all 11 members of the H system lens line use central lens shut-
ters, which adds flexibility by allowing flash to be employed at shut-
ter speeds up to 1/800s. the central shutter also improves image
quality by reducing camera vibration. 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 crea-
tive effect.

View-camera work
the H4d-200MS has been designed to allow the digital capture unit
to be detached and used on a view camera by way of an H system
adapter. in this configuration the digital capture device can work with
electronic shutters from e.g. Rollei and Schneider, either stand-alone
using the flash sync signal from the shutter or tethered to a com-
puter with full control of the electronic shutter from the computer.

Medium format digital capture
in digital photography, the advantages of larger format cameras
have become even more obvious. the 6×4.5 cm window allows the
Hasselblad H4d-200MS 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 low lighting. an inter-
changeable waist-level viewfinder, the HVM, is available for the
entire range of H system cameras.

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 Phocus software to google Earth.

Modes of operation and storage
the Hasselblad H4d-200MS offers a choice of storage devices: CF
cards or a computer hard drive. With these two operating and stor-
age options, you are able to select a mode to suit the nature of the
work in hand, whether in the studio or on location.

• Uncompromising Image Quality
• Special extended camera controls with which to operate your H4d-
200MS camera. these features, such as live video for easier
shot set-up and workflow, or the ability to control the lens drive
for focusing when the camera is in a remote position or when the
digital capture unit is mounted on a view camera, bring a level of
flexibility to the way you shoot.

• The extended metadata (gPS, HtS 1.5 etc). included in all Phocus
images provides for accurate and detailed cataloging and index-
ing, easy image management, and includes added gPS data func-
tionality in order to allow a range of functions. Phocus links gPS
data directly to google Earth, for example, making geographic ref-
erence a snap and image storage and retrieval much easier. With
the HtS 1.5, all settings are stored as metadata in the image file
for full function with daC lens corrections.

• Perfect Viewing Quality. the Phocus Viewer delivers image viewing
quality that matches every detail of what you will see later in Pho-
toshop. in addition, the Phocus Viewer allows you to customize
layout and composition to suit your current or desired work flow,
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 v iewing,
comparison, and selection.
