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-40 to use one of the largest image sensors currently available
in digital photography. The H4D-40 features CCD sensor measur-
ing 33.1 × 44.2mm - 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 high speed capture architecture captur-
ing 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 natu-
ral 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 outstand-
ing images to satisfy the most demanding customer.

An impressive lens line outperforming the Carl Zeiss icons
The highly renowned H System lens line includes 11 Auto-Focus
lenses, all with central lens shutters. Range is from 28mm to
300mm, 50-110mm zoom, 35-90mm zoom and 1.7X converter.

The built-in central lens shutter allows flash to be used at all shutter
speeds down to 1/800s. It also improves image quality by reducing
camera vibration.
The HTS 1.5 tilt/shift adapter delivers an easy to use, portable
tilt/shift solution for 5 H System lenses ranging from 28mm to
100mm. 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.

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 pre-
cise 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.
