the Hasselblad cFV ii digital back is custom built to match 
the design and functionality of the Hasselblad V system 
cameras,  thus  turning  the  V  system  camera  into  a  new 
digital  workhorse.  digital  capture  is  extended  with  tools 
for  powerful  digital  workflow  control  with  the   Hasselblad 
instant approval architecture. the Hasselblad cFV ii also 
fits view cameras using the V system interface plate for 
mechanical  attachment  and  flash  sync  connection  to  
trigger the digital capture. Hasselblad cFV ii thereby brings 
an ultra high level of integration and flexibility to the profes-
sional photographer who needs the best for both mobile 
and studio shooting.

Hasselblad Natural color solution

color  management  solutions  have  in  the  past  imposed 
limitations on professional digital photographers, because 
of the forced choice of a specific color profile to suit the 
job: capturing various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers 
etc.  to  combat  this,  Hasselblad  has  developed  a  new, 
powerful color profile to be used with its Flexcolor/Phocus 
imaging software. Working with the new Hasselblad Rgb 
color profile enables you to produce outstanding, reliable 
out-of-the-box colors, with skin tones, special product gra-
dations, and other difficult colors reproduced effectively.

to implement our new unique colors we have developed 

a new Hasselblad raw file format called 3FR (3F RaW). the 
new  3FR  file  format  is  designed  to  ensure  that  images 
captured on Hasselblad digital products are quickly, effec-
tively and safely stored on the available media (cF card, 
imagebank-ii, etc). the file format includes lossless image 
compression saving 33% of storage space. combined with 

the  architecture  of  the  Hasselblad  back,  this  allows  for 
capturing up to 35 shots per minute.

the 3FR file defines the colors in the Hasselblad Rgb 

color  space  with  its  out-of-the-box  quality,  and  used  in  
Flexcolor/Phocus  it  removes  both  the  need  for  experi-
menting with different color profiles to get optimal colors 
and the need for selective color corrections.

the 3FR files can be converted directly into adobe’s raw 

image  format  dNg  (‘digital  Negative’),  bringing  this  new 
technology standard to the professional photo grapher for 
 the first time. the dNg file format enables raw, compressed 
image files to be opened directly in adobe Photoshop. this 
allows  photographers  to  operate  quickly  and  efficiently, 
reducing  the  “downtime”  taken  to  process  image  data 
and enabling final images to reach the client more quickly.  
Hasselblad image files carry a full set of metadata, including 
capture conditions, keywords and copyright, facilitating work
