the H4d-50 features CCd sensor measuring 36.7 × 49.1mm - more 
than twice the physical size of the largest 35mm dSlR sensors. 
Basic iSO rating is from iSO 50 to iSO 800. the H4d-50 makes use 
of a high speed capture architecture capturing full size, compressed 
80Mbyte 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-50 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.

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 avail-
able 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. 

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 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-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.
