Digital Zeiss  – the classic V System lenses on the H4D

the CF adapter allows you to work with the V System’s classic CF-
lenses on your H4d camera, bringing old school glass to a cut-
ting edge digital platform. the CF adapter is not just is not just a 
mechanical socket that allows you to plug your legacy lenses into 
a new body.  the CF adapter allows the lenses to use their central 
lens shutter, which is not the case with other cameras offering Carl 
Zeiss lens interface. all images processed with Hasselblad’s dig-
ital lens correction software take the already amazing image quality 
from these renowned lenses to even higher levels. the CF adapter 
does not, however, transform your Carl Zeiss lenses into autofocus 
lenses, but it does enable the H4d camera to provide focus confir-
mation in the viewfinder when using these lenses. Naturally, should 
you feel the need to work with auto-focus, the H4d cameras offer 
the full HC/HCd lens line, covering 11 auto-Focus lenses, all with 
central shutters.

Instant Approval Architecture

Building on the success of the audio Exposure Feedback techno-
logy, Hasselblad has created instant approval architecture (iaa), an 
enhanced set of feedback tools, designed to enable the photog-
rapher to focus on the shoot rather than the selection process. 
iaa triggers audible and visual signals for each image captured, 
notifying the photographer immediately of its classification status. 
the information is recorded both in the file and in the file name, 
providing a quick and easy way to classify and select images, in the 
field or back at the studio. iaa is a Hasselblad trademark and Has-
selblad has a patent pending on the invention. 

Options for working with tilt/shift

two basic options are available for tilt/shift work with H4d-31. 
a simple-to-use, portable adapter solution and the classic view 
camera solution.

the HtS tilt/shift adapter for H4d-31 allows for portable tilt/shift 
with the HC/HCd lens range from 28mm to 100mm. 

Please refer to the separate datasheet on this product for details.
to further increase usability, the H4d-31 has been designed to allow 
the digital capture unit to be detached and used on a view camera 
by way of an adapter.

Two modes of operation and storage

the H4d-31 offers a choice of storage devices: CF cards or a com-
puter hard drive. With these 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.

5 HC/HCD lenses including Extension 
Tubes can be used with the HTS 1.5
