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 32.9 × 43.8mm - 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 new high speed capture architecture 
capturing full size, compressed 50Mbyte images at the rate of 1.1 
seconds per capture, working either mobile or tethered to a com-
puter.
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 HC/HCd 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 HC/HCd lenses ranging from 28mm to 100mm. 
the CF adapter allows use of the classic CF-lenses from the Hassel-
blad 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 selec-
tive 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. 

Hasselblad’s unique natural colors

Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution (HNCS) enables you to produce 
outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with skin tones, spe-
cific product colors and other difficult tones reproduced easily and 
effectively. in order to incorporate our new unique HNCS and daC-
features we have developed a custom Hasselblad raw file format 
called 3F RaW (3FR). this file format includes lossless image com-
pression, which reduces the required storage space by 33%. the 
3FR files can be converted into adobe’s raw image format dNg 
(‘digital Negative’), bringing this new technology standard to the 
professional photographer for the first time.

H4D-40 takes full benefit from all the flexibility 

of the impressive H camera system.
